While on this journey into memory, he flees his current faltering relationship in search of new friendships and intimacies. Inspired by Antonio Tabucchi's \u003ci\u003eIndian Nocturne\u003c\/i\u003e, and by the writings of Anaïs Nin, Rachel Cusk, and Carole Maso, among others, \u003ci\u003eIndian Winter\u003c\/i\u003e finds itself where the travel diary, the künstlerroman, poetry, and autofiction meet. But the heartbreak brought on by his unravelling relationship and his family's inability to accept his queerness cannot be outrun; as he traverses India, our narrator can't help but repeatedly encounter himself and the range of love and alienation he has within.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Coach House Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781552454657\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176","brand":"Kazim Ali","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766808314037,"sku":"9781552454657","price":16.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_a0986791-faea-4a5e-a69b-ed3b791ec6a8.jpg?v=1710818784","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/indian-winter-9781552454657","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
