The Arsonist – Kiran Nagarkar

Description

“In this inspired, profoundly imaginative telling of Kabirs life, acclaimed novelist Kiran Nagarkar places the mystic saint in a world which might be modern or ancient, but where the battles between religions remain as charged and central as ever. The Weaver is a shocking, iconoclastic rebel in this version, a man with more questions than answers, and with a wisdom shorn of any ego. Searching, urgent and deeply important, The Arsonist is a book of our times, one that turns Kabir into our contemporary.” –cover page [2].
