Publisher's Summary
Winner of India’s highest honor, the prestigious Sahitya Akademi Award for the year 2018, Postbox No. 203 Nala Sopara by noted writer Chitra Mudgal is a heart-wrenching tale that gazes into the darkness of our hearts, a physical and social space of harrowing and horrendous suffering, a source of untold agonies and atrocities.
It is a story of a transgender boy, Vinod, and his struggle to live a life of dignity in a society which is preconditioned to treat transgenders with contempt. But Vinod is every marginalized human being who wants to carve a space for himself. His struggle is every man's struggle, every woman's struggle, every child who is denied their being; in short, he is every one of us struggling against the dehumanizing state of affairs that from the very outset rejects you as an equal.
Politicians who want to exploit you, social activists and NGOs who want to use you for their own nefarious ends—the novel cuts through all this and takes you into the heart of darkness.
This novel created a storm when it was first published in 2016.
