Selling Points: Winner of the Society of Authors’ Betty Trask Prize, the Commonwealth Writers Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Fiction. Shortlisted for the Guardian Fiction Prize. ‘Chaudhuri’s languorous, elliptical, beautiful prose is impressively impossible to put in any category at all’ —Salman Rushdie.

The Book: A Strange and Sublime Address, Amit Chaudhuri’s first book, features a Bengali boy who spends his school holidays at his uncle’s home in Calcutta. Heatwaves, thunderstorms, mealtimes, prayer-sessions, shopping expeditions and family visits create a shifting background to the shaping of people’s lives. Delicate, nuanced, full of exquisite detail, Strange and Sublime Address is a small masterpiece. The book also includes nine short stories about the city.
