Bokeh

Rajeshree Varangaonkar

Through eight individual stories, Bokeh attempts to transport the reader from the tumultuous streets of a riot-driven 1980s Calcutta to a steadily decaying, war-ravaged Baghdad, and finally leaves the reader to explore the surreal pain of tumbling down a skyscraper and tasting defeat, loss, and betrayal in modern-day Manhattan. In spellbinding accounts, the characters find themselves mired in issues that are at once poetic conundrums as well as existential quandaries, leaving the reader baffled by the greater forces that grip and decimate lives and society.
Delivered with a deft hand and artistic eloquence, Rajeshree Varangaonkar has tactfully orchestrated beautiful stories, woven a tapestry of emotions, indulging the reader in ever-increasing raptness at every turn of page. Vividly etched on a wide canvas, exquisitely scripted, poignantly taut, Bokeh is a vibrant, visceral journey waiting to be discovered.
