520    "Cobalt Blue is a tale of rapturous love and fierce 
       heartbreak told with tenderness and unsparing clarity. 
       Brother and sister Tanay and Anuja both fall in love with 
       the same man, an artist lodging in their family home in 
       Pune, in western India. He seems like the perfect tenant, 
       ready with the rent and happy to listen to their mother's 
       musings on the imminent collapse of Indian culture. But 
       he's also a man of mystery. He has no last name. He has no
       family, no friends, no history, and no plans for the 
       future. When he runs away with Anuja, he overturns the 
       family's lives.  Translated from Marathi by acclaimed 
       novelist and critic Jerry Pinto, Sachin Kundalkar's 
       elegantly wrought and exquisitely spare novel explores the
       disruption of a traditional family by a free-spirited 
       stranger to examine a generation in transition. Intimate, 
       moving, sensual, and wry in its portrait of young love, 
       Cobalt Blue is a frank and lyrical exploration of gay life
       in India that recalls the work of Edmund White and Alan 
       Hollinghurst-of people living in emotional isolation, 
       attempting to find long-term intimacy in relationships 
       that until recently were barely conceivable to them. "--
