Eight people sit down for dinner at a young singer’s success party, but only seven live to see the next day. When Suhana Sethi, a debutante Bollywood singer, receives a mysterious call during her party, life for the Sethi family of Mussoorie stumbles off the rails. The next morning, a family member is found dead. Murdered. On the other side of the neighbourhood, battling with depression and a sickening habit of self-mutilation, is Mrs Sheetal Gupta, a widowed lady of the most maniacal personality who is suspected of shielding a secret — a secret that might not live long. What is this secret and what does her world bring to the wealthiest family in Mussoorie is a question that irks many. Amidst all this are Dev, a retired policeman, and Vikram, a struggling writer, who take it upon themselves to sieve false from the truth before the family’s dark, dysfunctional side alters the case completely, and the murderer strikes again . . . and again . . .
Shilpa Gupta
This book will present a richly informative and analytical account of the work of the artist Shipla Gupta, her ideas and projects, and the global political contexts in which she situates them. The most significant feature of her new media works - which deal with themes such as body piracy, the politics of the sacred, securitization and surveillance - is that they are universally readable, which makes them accessible and relevant to both local and international audiences. And yet Gupta's works retain a reserve of ambivalence, secrecy and dynamic paradox. Edited by the Bombay-based cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator Nancy Adajania, this book will carry essays by contributors of international eminence such as Peter Weibel, the director of ZKM, Karlsruhe; Quddus Mirza, art critic, artist and curator from Pakistan. AUTHOR: Nancy Adajania is a cultural theorist, art critic and independent curator. ILLUSTRATIONS 200 colour images *
