Mithu Sanyal – Antichristie
It’s 2022 in London and the Queen is dead! Durga, an international Indian/German screenwriter with a huge appetite for rebellion and hallucinations, runs past the mourners. Durga has been hired to do a film adaptation of the imperial Agatha Christie thrillers. But suddenly, she’s thrown back to 1906. She meets Indian rebels whose battles are far from non-violent like Gandhi’s. And then the first bomb explodes. What kind of resistance is right in a wrong world?
Mithu Sanyal is a cultural scholar, journalist, critic and author. She is one of the most important voices in the debates around feminism, racism, pop culture and post-colonialism. Following her prize-winning debut novel “Identitti”, her latest book opens up a fast-paced, humorous and unsparing debate about colonialism. Antichristie brings the whole world into a work of German-language literature.
