Anita Desai, who settled in the Hudson River Valley, has expanded the horizons of generations of Indian writers through her diverse literary explorations and artistic landscapes.
In her new novella, Rosarita, Desai weaves an enigmatic mystery centered around a student who uncovers her mother's hidden artistic past in 1950s Mexico.
Salman Rushdie noted that while Desai's works like Clear Light of Day sport a deceptive calm, they contain a sharp intelligence and a cutting wit lying beneath.
Rosarita represents a shift in Desai's writing style, embodying a sense of mystery akin to Borges, blending themes of truth, memory, and art.
