Anon.
'Anon.' (short for 'Anonymous') is a literary fiction written by Indian screenwriter Bhavani Iyer. Iyer lives in Mumbai and has written several award-winning movies and television shows including 'Black', 'Lootera', 'Raazi' and ''24 India''. Anon. is her first novel and is published by Fingerprint Publishing.
‘Anon.’ – the abbreviation that appears alongside literary works of unknown parentage – is a fictionalized, imagined story of two writers in India, Debottam Bhattacharya and Urbish Sardar. Their literary fates mirror those of the masters of English Literature – Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare.
Debottam is the scion of an aristocratic zamindar family in Calcutta while Urbish is the son of a fisherman in the Sunderbans. They meet in Shantiniketan.
Set in Calcutta of the sixties and seventies, with the Naxalite movement, the Zamindar Abolishment Act and the complex fibre of artistic expression colliding with political ideology of the time, Anon. explores the disparate worlds both socially and artistically.
"This quiet river of a story makes sudden bends into dramatic rapids and is quiet again. Somehow pace and polish go together in a prose that carries along love, hate, delicate boys, coy girls and even reverent and sly analysis of stories themselves. Bhavani makes intellectuality look good.' - Manu Joseph
