Encyclopedia : R : RA : RAN : Rana Dasgupta
Rana Dasgupta (born November 5 1971 in Canterbury, England) is a British-Indian writer. He grew up in Cambridge, England and studied at Balliol College, Oxford and the University of Wisconsin. He lives in Delhi, India.
His first novel, Tokyo Cancelled (2005), is an examination of the forces and experiences of globalization. Thirteen passengers stuck overnight in an airport tell thirteen stories from different cities in the world, stories that resemble contemporary fairytales, mythic and surreal. The tales add up to a broad exploration of 21st century forms of life, which includes billionaires, film stars, migrant labourers, illegal immigrants and sailors.
