Synopsis

Seven years ago as the economy collapsed amidst ever more serious climate disasters, Ethan Casey went into a billionaire's survival bunker in the wilds of Alberta. Now suspecting his boss is not telling the bunker's staff the truth, Ethan sneaks out to learn if the world is really in chaos. He meets forest ranger Jules Martell, who tells him the world is changed but is rebuilding, and that he and everyone in the bunker would be welcome in the nearby town of Goose Lodge.
Ethan returns to the bunker to tell the others the truth, prompting many of them to leave with him. Ethan had to go back to bring the others out, but he had to return to Goose Lodge to find Jules again. This time, he knows he will never return to that hole in the ground. Jules becomes Ethan's guide to the town, and the way they live there, introducing him to strange ideas Ethan must learn to embrace. As they grow closer Ethan also becomes a forest ranger, and he and Jules act as liaisons to the bunker, tasked with persuading the last holdouts to leave. Soon only Ethan's old boss, Sinclair, remains stubbornly locked in, with a vault of gold and gems, and dwindling food supplies. 
Spending time alone in the forest with Jules feels like all Ethan needs to make him happy. But the forest holds secrets and sadness for Jules, and the town is not the perfect utopia Ethan thought at first. And Sinclair, alone in the bunker, is growing ever more afraid and bitter, and determined to ruin the happiness Ethan has found with Jules.

    The Last Courtesan was his mother's story. Nautch Boy tells his own. 
    'A one-of-a-kind book. It takes a ferocious spirit to survive the saddest alleys of the world - and an extraordinary man to narrate it. I consider this book sacred. It is consecrated with my bleeding heart.' - K.R. Meera, Author 
    'Almost a war, but with a lot of hope. Rekhabai is weak and strong, ferocious and gentle, angry and generous. Manish Gaekwad, with a style as simple as his mother's heart and as complex as her life, has compelled us to read without a break.' - Volga, Author & Activist 
    'One outstanding book, this. Take a bow.' - Anita Nair, Author 
     
    A sweet-faced, quiet boy dressed in matching pink shorts and a top poses demurely for a photograph in a kotha, holding a flower vase with plastic white daisies in it. Powdered, scented women around him sparkle and pirouette like movie stars on the silver screen. The boy looks at them in awe. Will he be able to join them in this evening of glamour and music? When will he become a nautch boy?  
    His dream is jinxed by his courtesan mother Rekhabai's ambition to secure his future away from every last thing that ties him to the kotha. But can he silence the music in his veins?  
    Sent off to a boarding school in the hills, the boy learns to balance the two worlds-he can undulate his hips to popular Hindi songs like his mother but also recite by heart the poems of Rossetti and Shelley.  
    Nautch Boy is Manish Gaekwad's account of being born and raised in a disrespected environment at odds with his privileged education. He finds his vocation as a reporter, screenwriter and a novelist, and eventually replaces that flower vase of fake white daisies with colourful stories of love, laughter and decay from the kothas.
