Almost Home<\/h1>\n

Cities and Other Places<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

“In essays that bespeak a thoroughly cosmopolitan sensibility, Githa Hariharan not only takes us on illuminating tours through cities rich in history, but gives a voice to urban people from all over the world\u2014Kashmir, Palestine, Delhi\u2014trying to live with basic human dignity under circumstances of dire repression or crushing poverty.”<\/h3>\n
J.M. Coetzee<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u2018This word, home. So easy to say, so casually said every day. Why then is home so hard to see, the way you see other places you visit for a week or two?\u2019<\/p>\n

What does a medieval city in South India have in common with Washington D.C.? How do people in Kashmir imagine the freedom they long for? Who does Delhi, city of grand monuments and hidden slums, actually belong to?<\/p>\n

Most of all, what makes a city, or any place, home?<\/p>\n

In large parts of the world, including India, the prevailing view of people and places\u2014and their multiple voices\u2014has been a western version. How does this view change when it is located in India, and when the stories are complicated by several cultures, languages, traditions and political debates?<\/p>\n

From Delhi, Bombay\/ Mumbai, Ooty and Kashmir to Palestine, Algeria and eleventh-century C\u00f3rdoba, these intricately carved essays explore cities and other places through the lives of people, and how they see home and belonging. Combining memoir with polemic, historical with imagined narrative, anecdote with poetry, Githa Hariharan recounts defining moments in which people experience the frictions of day-to-day survival, and the collision of ideas, culture, war and colonization. The result is a fascinating and layered story of home: a sense of home, too many homes, broken or lost homes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1498471365436{margin-top: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 25px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

From<\/em> Reviews<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”from-reviews”]\u201cHariharan\u2019s stories should be required reading\u2026 Each essay will add depth to your understanding of the complicated, nuanced relationship between daily life and history, no matter what city or country you call home.\u201d
\nChicago Review of Books<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA fascinating book that transcends conventional genre divisions and combines several elements: of memoir, travelogue, history, philosophy and fiction. What in a journalist\u2019s hands might just have been reportage turns in the hands of this creative writer into a well-conceived, layered narrative, a work of excellent prose… Recorded historical facts and unrecorded legends get intertwined to produce a unique text, whose texture we will never know comes from where, from the idiom that varies from the intensely lyrical to the factually objective or from a heady mixture of aptly-quoted passages of poetry and ably narrated stories or again from the dizzying passages from one period and one place to another period and another place.\u201d
\nFrontline India<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHariharan\u2019s tone in Almost Home<\/em> is contemplative, bringing together her personal history with her substantial knowledge of politics and culture\u2026 [offers] an illuminating and unexpected view of a familiar place, a comparison that can in turn spark a cascading line of thoughts on the way that cities and empires relate.\u201d
\nLiterary Hub<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHariharan\u2019s anthropological curiosity, the sign of a true traveller\u2019s mind, illuminates the tales with a colourful confetti of elements from philosophy and art to literature and history\u2026People and places come alive in this book, not through dusty encyclopaedic research, but by Hariharan\u2019s deft incorporation of historical fiction into the essayistic and travelogue elements of her narrative\u2026 To read this book is to venture on a rigorous journey around the globe and through pockets of time\u2026 this is the best travel book I have ever read.\u201d
\nNew Pages<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSpunky\u2026 It is both Hariharan\u2019s singular, home-grown cosmopolitanism and her mellow perspective as a distinguished Indian novelist that inform the book\u2019s story, of shifting ideas of time and place… The book\u2019s ten journeys crisscross the world confidently\u2026 [Hariharan] is capable of wonderful moments of hilarity… With this, her eighth book, she reminds us of the considerable skill she has yet to fully tap into, like the sea, \u2018home, or almost home.\u2019 \u201d
\nOpen Magazine<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026presents a new kind of travel writing that is intellectually adventurous but never detached, couched in personal experience but deeply engaged in the world, inviting the reader to make surprising connections with her own sense of home.\u201d
\nFantastic Fiction<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c…a beautifully crafted memoir about finding one’s place in a global and ever-changing world…In ten captivating essays, Hariharan explores her life as a global citizen, defined equally by her roots as much as her current address, and what it means to find and embrace her own place in an ancient yet transient world.\u201d
\nGo Nomad<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA creative collection of essays by an Indian woman combining her perspectives of diverse places, bits of their history, and the power relations that have shaped them… Githa Hariharan is an author who is grounded in her Indian heritage yet intensely aware of what is happening around the entire globe… Almost Home<\/em> is one of the increasingly frequent books that do not fit in our traditional categories. It contains fact and fiction, memoirs and travel writing, history and social\/political analysis. Despite its unusual structure, it is easy to read and provides an enlarged understanding of places around the global and the forces that affect us all.\u201d
\nMe, You, and Books<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEssays on identity, place, and the pervasiveness of the past in the present, by a global literary citizen…never just travel writing or political analysis\u2014that nonetheless seems to map new territory of its own. Hariharan employs abundant creative imagination as she conjures the centuries past that have shaped the present in which she finds herself. At some times and places, she envisions fields of battle, at others there are battles between lovers. Her aim is to come to terms not only with a place, but with herself in that place, a self who has never been defined by any one place: \u2018I have lived all my life in a city, but if someone asked me, quite simply, \u201cSo which city are you from?\u201d I wouldn\u2019t be able to answer. Or I would have too many answers\u2026Or I could say: Anycity, composite city of visible cities, remembered cities, imagined cities.\u2019
