Book Summary
Is there a moment, so pliant, that we can nudge it towards any future we desire?Sometimes I believe that there is such a moment. In a lifetime, once.In an unnamed nation thats about to rupture, Priyamvada (Poppy), a Hindu and Tariq, a Muslim are in love. In a few hours, Tariq intends to propose; Poppy intends to say yes. Both assume that theyll fend off political blowback. For, surely, their privilege will protect them.But will it? Will Poppy and Tariq sustain a love so wholesome, so cossetted, that it remains impervious to a dystopian state? Or will the two be rent apart by chance and circumstance? What will their lives look like as they plunge into a brave new future, together or apart?Written in alternating chapters, Like Being Alive Twice trails fact and possibilitythe tale as-it-was and the tale as-it-could-have-been-if-onlyarranging and rearranging, tweaking and nudging; hoping to find a lasting peace in one or the other story; hoping, above all else, that such peace will prevail over murderous times.Politically urgent, stylistically intrepid, and relentless in its commitment to scrutinizing love, loss and the language of privilege, Like Being Alive Twice tells of the frantic pursuit of life piled upon life, even as a bloodied world closes in.
