"The Ministry of Utmost Happiness" takes us on a journey of many years-the story spooling outwards from the cramped neighbourhoods of Old Delhi into the burgeoning new metropolis and beyond, to the Valley of Kashmir and the forests of Central India, where war is peace and peace is war, and where, from time to time, 'normalcy' is declared. Anjum, who used to be Aftab, unrolls a threadbare carpet in a city graveyard that she calls home. A baby appears quite suddenly on a pavement, a little after midnight, in a crib of litter. The enigmatic S. Tilottama is as much of a presence as she is an absence in the ... |

"Тази книга събира на едно място словата на Елена Пеева и картините на Ангел Василев. Докато я четях, бях особено омаян от прелестта на словесната ѝ шевица, извезана с поетичната пъстрота на възхищението, предизвикано от магнетичните платна на отплавалия с небесния си платноход пловдивски художник. Ангелският отглас на рисунъка му тихо трепти в сказа на всеки един от тези разкази, посветени на живописния му дух, на болката му, която с Божията помощ, Ангел превръща в изящество. Както отбелязва и авторката "в картините му живееше вечния празник, но в душата му - Бог да я помилва, понякога празникът плачеше. ... |
