Summary

The witty, queer accidental detective of the Epitome Apartments is back. While helping to solve a community murder, she also needs to convince police that she didn’t revenge-kill the man who took everything from her
		 
The nameless amateur sleuth of The Adventures of Isabel and What’s the Matter with Mary Jane? has often said that death is too good for Lockwood Chiles — who is in prison for killing her beloved partner, Nathan, and her close friend Pris — and makes no secret that she hates the man who massacred her shot at happiness. So when Chiles ends up dead in his cell, it’s no wonder she becomes a prime suspect.
		 
Meanwhile, an aggressive band of men in military-adjacent garb turn a string of assaults against nameless’s unhoused neighbors into full-bore murder right behind the Epitome Apartments, and she rashly promises to help bring them to law.
		 
As if that’s not enough, unscrupulous parties are scheming to strip her of her inheritance, money she and Nathan had intended would address the city’s lack of harm-reduction services and low-income housing. Now it is nameless’s mission to clear her name and to hold her tattered community together, all while she’s coming apart herself.

    A Turin journalist must investigate when a local girl is allegedly assaulted by two Romani boys in this farcical whodunit for fans of Alaa Al Aswany. 
     
    Bittersweet, like any self-respecting Italian comedy, The Prank is a Pirandellian exploration of identity in today’s multicultural, polyglot societies. Lakhous draws inspiration from everyday reality, describing his approach to writing as “total literature,” a term he has adapted from soccer’s “total football.” He plays in attack, describing in this work the realities of an Italy of the future with colorful characters portrayed in limpid but lively prose. 
     
    Praise for Amara Lakhous 
     
    “French and British literatures have long been enriched by the biculturalism of authors like Tahar Ben Jelloun, Amin Maalouf, Gaitam Malkani, and Monica Ali. With talented new writers like Lakhous, Italy is closing the gap.” —New York Times 
     
    “As a novelist of culture clash, Lakhous has the faculty to maintain colorful voices with the luxury of introducing political themes as instantiations of character.” —Bookforum

    Einstein o Indubala:...

    A critically acclaimed stinging narrative by the legendary Bibhutibhusan Bandopadhyay, the title of 'Einstein o Indubala' reflects the pathological low intellectual taste of the masses that could not distinguish between class and gloss. The story is a dark sarcasm that mocks the trite, banal, and trivial - a symptomatic occupation that lacks intellectual curiosity, imagination, and common sense in identifying and appreciating real quality in the face of mindless temptations and a false sense of glamour. 
    The deliberate parody portrays the quintessential opposite poles of the human intellect to bear on the author's focus on this paradoxical human behavior in the garb of a comical display of human apathy and indifference to appreciate something great. 
    Reflect on this masterclass from one of the classical masters of Bengal literature that rings true even in today's context and society.
