A time outside this time : a novel / Amitava Kumar. by Kumar, Amitava, 1963- Hamish Hamilton, 2021. Call #: FICTION KUM Subjects Politics and culture -- Fiction.   Truthfulness and falsehood -- Fiction.   Authors -- Fiction.   Artists -- Fiction.   East Indian Americans -- Fiction.   United States -- 21st century -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780735241367 (hc.) Description:  243 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "When a writer named Satya attends a prestigious artist retreat, he finds the pressures of the outside world won't let up: President Trump rages online; a dangerous virus envelopes the globe; and the 24-hour news cycle throws fuel on every fire. For most of the retreat fellows, such stories are unbearable distractions; but for Satya, these Orwellian interruptions begin to crystalize into an idea for his new novel, Enemies of the People, about the lies we tell ourselves and each other. Satya scours his life for moments where truth bends toward the imagined, and misinformation is mistaken as fact. Sifting through the President's tweets, newspaper clippings, childhood memories from India, and moments as an immigrant, a husband, father, and teacher, A Time Outside This Time captures our feverish political moment with intelligence, beauty, and an eye for the uncanny. It is a brilliant meditation on life in a post-truth era."--Publisher. Genre:  Political fiction. Literary fiction.
