商品簡介


'Seppuku is a sting operation involving the Delhi art world.The novel

can be read virtually in a jiffy. But later, as one reflects on the core of the

narrative, one gets a jolt. It leaves one astonished'

Uday Prakash, Hindi writer

'The novel exposes the dark side of the contemporary Indian art world

where an artist's success is often rooted in devious manoeuvres involving

greed, selfishness and vanity. The world is often celebrating, oblivious to

the tragedy and pain some artists go through in the sordid realization that

they cannot grow and succeed in the current milieu. Seppuku is so fluid it

is hard to put it down until one has finished reading it'

Chintan Upadhyay, painter

Pratap Narayan rises out of nowhere to become an unprecedented

success in the world of art. He is the most sought-after Indian painter

on the international circuit. So sound is his standing that, even when

the art market virtually collapses in 2008, Pratap's position remains

unassailable.

A fellow artist from his early days, Baldev Sharma of Bareilly, narrates

Pratap Narayan's escapades - his time as a struggling artist, his

complex and controversial relationships

with women, and his unmatched ability

to network. Seppuku unfolds against the

fascinating backdrop of the art world

with its whimsical art collectors, businesssavvy

gallery owners, wannabe art party

crashers, camera-hungry socialites and

cynical critics.

The first novel in a trilogy from the pen of

a seasoned art critic, this is a heady mix

of scandal and glamour. A wild portrait

of a community that is drunk on its own

excesses.
