A chance encounter on Portobello Road incites an unsettling, magnetic attraction between Mary, an elderly white woman, and Cub, a British-Jamaican boy, and drives her crumbling world into heightened delusion. The two struggle to keep their footing as white supremacy, desperation and class conflict collide on the streets of London. Through exquisite juxtaposition, Ananda Devi exposes the tensions of an increasingly nationalistic and polarised metropolis. At once realistic and fantastical, The Living Days encapsulates Devi's daring, unflinching talent and paints an unforgettable portrait of London at it's most bewitching, and most dangerous.
Ananda Devi was born in 1957 in Mauritius, and currently lives in Switzerland. She is the award-winning author of twelve novels as well as short stories and poetry. Devi is the recipient of the 2020 Bay Area Book Festival/Words Without Borders grant.
Jeffrey Zuckerman is digital editor of Music & Literature magazine. He also translated Devi's Eve Out of Her Ruins.
