Who is he going to kill next?” goes the brief from the publisher. “Amidst many intrigues and conspiracies at the gambling den of Club Kokiro in Goa, Jeet Singh meets the don of the city, Lawrence Briganza, who offers him a contract to kill. Jeet Singh’s new challenge is set in Goa.
Now famous for writing his books in Hindi and English simultaneously, Dubey tells me he does it to tap into the two distinct markets, and because “there is no better way to promote Hindi than to do it through English.” Goa Galatta, Harper-Collins In his last novel, Colaba Conspiracy, 75-year-old Surender Mohan Pathak’s latest anti-hero Jeet Singh (“ Zurm ki duniya uske liye aisa kambal ban gayi thi jise woh choddta toh bhi woh use nahin choddti”) saves his ex-girlfriend from the charge of murdering her rich husband by solving the mystery at the heart of the plot. Like his last book, the “cow-belt story” titled Loser Kahin Ka/What a Loser, Ishqiyapa comes out in Hindi and English at the same time, the English version, translated by Dubey himself, named To Hell with Love. 36-year-old Dubey, who also writes scripts for Bollywood, feels there is a marked difference between the pre-1991 and post-1991 love (the latter submitting to the rules of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge at some point or the other), and his aim with book is to draw it out while giving his readers a fun time. The love story of Lallan Jha, the wannabe entrepreneur, and Sweety Pandey, the wannabe film-star, goes from Laloo-era Bihar to city-of-dreams Bombay, and promises to pack in more drama than one expects in a single novel. Ishqiyapa, Penguin The second novel of Bihar-born Pankaj Dubey is a dark tale of love in the time of globalisation in which nothing is what it seems and no character is above evil. Here’s the best of the Hindi publishing pipeline for 2015. Young commercial fiction will be everywhere, engaging the generation that has pre-ordered the books online, but there’d enough space for interesting titles in biography, historical nonfiction and memoir. If 2014 seemed to be a good year for Hindi publishing, giving us a lively mix of young, restless writers and reliable old names, this year promises to be better.
