Interview - Siddhartha Deb, Author - The Light at The End of The World

What inspired you to write the book “The Light at the End of the World?” Any specific incident(s) you would like to share?

I wanted to read a novel set in India and South Asia that blurred the lines between realism and speculative fiction, that discussed authoritarian politics, but through the occult, the unconscious, and technology, that played with history, the present, and the near future. This novel didn’t seem to exist, so I decided to sit down and write it.

Bibi reflects a set of people who faced challenging situations during the exchange of currency notes (demonetization). How was the character conceived?
