Show business : a novel

This triumphant novel about the razzle-dazzle Hindi film industry confirms Shashi Tharoor's reputation as one of India's most important voices and a writer of world stature. His hero-or antihero-is Ashok Banjara, one of Bollywood's mega-movie stars, a man of great ambition and dubious morals. Even as his star rises, his life becomes a melodrama of its own, with love affairs, Parliamentary appointments, framings, disgrace, and, in the end, sustaining a life-threatening injury on the set of a low-budget film. With irrepressible charm and a genius for satire, Tharoor positions the film.

  • "Grièvement blessé, Ashok Banjara, superstar du cinéma hindi, gît entre la vie et la mort. A son chevet, se succèdent ses parents et ses amis, qui tentent de le tirer de son coma. En vain. Il reste muet, prisonnier du film qui défile dans sa tête et qui retrace sa carrière. L'auteur décrit l'univers bollywoodien, comme une métaphore de la société indienne actuelle et de ses maux."
