"This new novel takes us to Bombay in the mid-1990s. Nariman Vakeel is a seventy-nine-year-old Parsi widower and the patriarch of asmall discordant family. Beset by Parkinson's disease and haunted by memor ies of the past, he lives in a once-elegant apartment wtih his two middle-aged stepchildren - Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. When Nariman's illness is compounded by a broken ankle, Coomy plots to turn his round-the-clock care over to Roxana, his sweet-tempered daughter. She succeeds, but not without cost, and eventually Nariman takes up residence with Roxana, her husband, Yezad, and their two young ssons. The effect of the new responsibility on Yezad, who is already besieged by financial worries, pushes him into a scheme of deception involving Vikram Kapur, his eccentric, often exasperating employer at Bombay Sporting Goods Emporium. This sets in motion a series of events - a great unravelling and a revelation of the family's love-torn past - that leads to the narrative's final outcome." - from the dj.

MISTRY, Rohinton URQUHART, Tony Scream. Illustrations by Tony Urquhart
McClelland & Stewart, Toronto, 2008, ISBN:9780771061325
MISTRY, Rohinton. The Scream. Illustrations by Tony Urquhart. (Toronto) : McClelland & Stewart, (2008). First Printing. Pp (6),1-[35],(5). Illustrated. 8vo, illustrated pale yellow paper covered boards, black spine. “By the internationally acclaimed writer Rohinton Mistry, The Scream is set in a Bombay apartment and narrated by a nameless man at the end of his life, a man who is angry at the predicament of old age, at his isolation from his family and from a society that no longer understands him. Frail of body yet still keenly alert to the injustices committed daily against him, he will flatter and cajole as he delivers a mesmerizing monologue that is at once hilarious and deeply moving, replete with hard-earned wisdom about human nature and the ways of the world. This beautiful edition of Mistry's universally resonant story features original artwork by celebrated Canadian artist Tony Urquhart.” - from the back cover. Very good. 45.00
