The Alchemy of Desire - Tarun Tejpal (Autographed Edition)
A young couple from a small town in India, penniless but gloriously in love, move to the big city, where the man works feverishly on a novel, stopping only to feed his ceaseless desire for his beautiful wife. In time, the lovers abandon the city for an old house in the mist-shrouded Himalayas. While renovating their ramshackle new home, the young man unearths a chest full of diaries written by the previous owner. Thrust into another world and time, he slowly uncovers the dark secrets at the heart of her story.
Tarun J Tejpal is a journalist and publisher. In a 22-year career, he has been an editor with the India Today and The Indian Express groups, and the managing editor of Outlook, one of India’s premier newsmagazines. He has also written for several international publications, including The Paris Review, The Guardian, The Financial Times and Prospect. In March 2000, Tarun left Outlook to start Tehelka.com - a news-and-views magazine on the net that has broken ground with its sting investigations. In 2001, Asiaweek listed Tejpal as one of Asia’s 50 most powerful communicators, and Businessweek declared him among 50 leaders at the forefront of change in Asia.
Tehelka has garnered worldwide acclaim for its journalism, and is seen as one of the seminal websites of world media. After three years of gross victimisation by the Indian establishment, in January 2004 Tehelka relaunched itself as a national weekly paper, uniquely funded by the advance subscriptions of its supporters. The Tehelka weekly paper, a well-rounded paper with public interest as its core, is read by more than a hundred thousand people every week.
