This third and final part of poet, novelist and art critic Vinod Bhardwaj’s trilogy (which began with Seppuku and was followed by A True Lie, the latter a depiction of the decline of journalism) looks at the massive downturn faced by the Indian art market post-2008 and the negative impact of notebandi from an unusual, almost surreal viewpoint. The novel’s protagonist, Jai Kumar, is the son of a postman born in the middle of the blood-soaked times of Delhi’s notorious Sikh massacre of 1984. The fleeting taste of the fruits of the sudden spurt in the Indian art market during 2004-2007 leaves Jai Kumar’s creative instincts stunted. He now begins to look upon himself as a sex addict while the new surrealist grammar of the art bazaar strengthens this illusion of his sex life being a mark of sickness.
