Loyal Stalkers : Chhimi Tenduf-La launches third book
View(s):In a private room sheltered from the Colombo riots, a 17-year-old girl gives birth to a hate child. At a modern city gym, an introverted fitness instructor obsesses over his unattainable client. Inside an untended guest-house room, an adolescent cricket champ is caught unawares by his coach’s violent fury. By a rain-drenched gravesite, a special-needs teacher confides in a stranger.
This is the world that awaits readers of Chhimi Tenduf-La’s third offering Loyal Stalkers. A collection of short stories, Loyal Stalkers finds Chhimi Tenduf-La at his inventive best ‘Another author who read it told me that it was like a painting coming to life with each chapter filling in the colours of one other corner of that painting. There is a message about society in each tale, but my hope, above all else, is that people will find the book compelling, moving and surprising’ says Chhimi.
Published by Pan Macmillan India, Loyal Stalkers will be released in Sri Lanka to coincide with the official launch elsewhere. The book is expected to be available in all leading Sri Lankan bookstores soon.
It can also be pre-ordered on Takas.lk with a significant discount. Once the book is released, Takas will offer same day delivery within Colombo.
