English, August: An Indian Story by Upamanyu Chatterjee
Agastya Sen, known to friends by the English name August, is a child of the Indian elite. His friends go to Yale and Harvard. August himself has just landed a prize government job. The job takes him to Madna, the hottest town in India, deep in the sticks. There he finds himself surrounded by incompetents and cranks, time wasters, bureaucrats, and crazies. What to do? Get stoned, shirk work, collapse in the heat, stare at the ceiling. Dealing with the locals turns out to be a lot easier for August than living with himself. English, August is a comic masterpiece from contemporary India. Like A Confederacy of Dunces and The Catcher in the Rye, it is both an inspired and hilarious satire and a timeless story of self-discovery.Category: English, August
A surprise package was waiting for me yesterday evening. English, August Restoration sample from dev benegal on Vimeo. It has been informed that the negative may not be suitable for the restoration work but the Print is usable. Readers of this weblog will know that the 35mm negative of English, August was damaged by Prasad Laboratories in Madras now Chennai because of poor storage. Ironic given that I chose to work with them because they were the best processing and printing laboratory in India. The club is a group of people who have lost the Original Negatives of their films due to poor storage conditions in India.
Thirty years after 'English, August', Upamanyu Chatterjee is back with a prequel that speaks to our fractured present.
