Railway Babu: My Father

by Satya P. Sharma

Overview

A deeply moving account of a man full of contradictions, a saint during the day, an animated monster at night, a highly conflicted individual who loved all his kids but did not have the resources to provide them what they needed. A man who is tormented by the usurpation of his patriarchal authority, who finds comfort in cajoling his cow to deal with his emotions. A man who wants to live but cannot as death takes him away at the prime of his life.

About the Author

The author is uniquely qualified to write this work about his father. He spent the first fifteen years of his life with him in close proximity. As a trained anthropologist and artist, the author is a natural storyteller. His novel analyses a complex personality with objectivity and controlled emotion. He deals with the dialectics between anger and love, disdain and respect, and loss and memory, all centered on an individual, in a creative and honest narrative that would be of interest to all fathers and sons, anywhere.
