An Evening with Shrikant Bojewar’s ‘One and Three Quarters’ The NCPA Library invites you to the launch of Shrikant Bojewar’s latest satirical novel, One and Three Quarters. The event will feature a discussion with celebrated journalist Kumar Ketkar and acclaimed author Vishwas Patil. The novel centres around Pitambar, nicknamed ‘Langdya’ due to a limp, and his struggles, living in a village even as he yearns for more. When he stumbles upon a secret affair between the school principal and the music teacher, Langdya sees blackmail as an opportunity to climb up the local political ladder. With Latthya, a clever and gossip-loving tomcat as his advisor, he navigates a corruption-ridden landscape, making his way to Mumbai’s Mantralaya. A sharp satire and fable, Bojewar’s work critiques post-Independence India’s moral decay and power dynamics. An NCPA Library Presentation Entry free on a first-come-first-served basis.
