Language which develops 'against all the odds' is very precious. Words were not enough for Tom; it was signs that made sense of a world silenced by meningitis.

Book Description
Following the death of his young daughter, the narrator moves to Japan with the project of writing an essay on Japanese literature. There, on the other side of the earth, he experiences a series of incidents that connect him to a recurrent childhood dream and allow him to explore the depth of his own grief through the stories of others. Sarinagara is a poignant meditation on the nature of grief, art, and memory. In Japanese, "Sarinagara" means "and yet." This word is the last word of one of the most famous poems of Japanese literature.

Being commanded to unearth the story behind Bollywood superstud Nasser Khan’s much-talked-about reclusive status following the break-up of his long-standing engagement to a cinematic bimbette is nothing short of a nightmare for someone who can’t quite tell her Khans apart.
