Stellar Publishers Pvt. Ltd launches the novel "The Inheritor" written by Upendra Tankha, at Oxford BookStore, Statesman House, First Floor, 148, Barakhamba Road > 6:30pm on 15th March 2011
Time : 6:30 pm
Entry : Free
Event Details : Stellar Publishers Pvt. Ltd is hosting the launch of a novella, The Inheritor by Upendra Tankha who is a renowned author and a film critic. The book will be released in the presence of the guest of honour, Mr. Natwar Singh, Former External Affairs Minister and author. The excerpts of the book will be read after the launch by, Sunit Tandon a renowned media and theatre personality who is also the DG of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication.
About the Book : The Inheritor is about the travails and peccadilloes of an out-of-job hack who shacks up with his parents and lives off his friends and wits in equal measure. The tale unravels the time when media jobs are far and few and the going for freelance is knotty. The quirky satire moves from the bleak to not-so-bleak. The ironic and humorous take moves on a subtle plane unlike the airy and brash goings on in his previous work, A Bachelor Boy, a hilarious romp, that has been reviewed as ‘a recommended read’.
About The Author : Upendra Tankha hails from the valley town of Dehradun, where his Kashmiri forbears landed in 1850. He has worked as a copyeditor in National Herald, Financial Express, and The Economic Times, but never been accused of mucking up a copy, and believes while writing is a lark, editing is a knottier proposition. He also made a mark as film critic for nearly three decades for several publications, notably The Statesman, and hugely enjoyed sitting through film festivals simply because he was paid to do so.
