The Remains of the Body
Diya Sengupta, sustainability strategy consultant, Juhu

I am reading this delicious queer book by Saikat Majumdar. It is a novella that brings out the queerness of lives that seem straight from outside. I love its depiction of modern marriage and the slippery zone between the friendly and the erotic. I was blown away by Majumdar’s previous novel The Firebird, and then mesmerised by his novel, The Scent of God, set in a monastic boarding school. So, when this new novella was released, I just knew I had to read it.
