Anjali Joseph writes literary fiction about work, desire, boredom and the small decisions through which people realise they may be living the wrong life. Saraswati Park follows a letter writer in Mumbai and his nephew, whose marriage and sexuality create tensions inside an otherwise quiet household. Another Country moves through Paris, London and Bombay with a young woman trying different jobs, relationships and identities without finding a stable centre. The Living follows workers in a British shoe factory and an Indian workshop, linking distant forms of labour through alternating perspectives. Joseph's prose is restrained, observant and low on conventional drama. Her books fit contemporary Indian fiction, workplace fiction and literary novels about uncertainty, migration and ordinary adult life. Read more Less
