Zusammenfassung:Binod and Rabinder were brought up as brothers, one a man of hope, the other of appetite, whose ambitions unexpectedly intertwine. As their stories unfolds, a complex world comes to throbbing life, moving from Motihari where Binod was born, to the Bombay of film, imitation and enterprise, via Delhi, its calm shattered by an assassination and riots. A film director asks Binod, a journalist in Bombay, to produce a portrait of a murdered girl, a poet killed by a politician by whom she is pregnant. The director wants a script about small town desire, compromise, and intrigue. Subtle and articulate, his sensibility shaped by the classic films of a high-minded and austere boyhood, Binod undertakes to draft a Bollywood story. Unlike Binod is his cousin Rabinder, in Hajipur jail, under arrest for turning his cybercafe into a porn parlor and full of plans. Rabinder is a doer, with dreams of entering films. In the broad sweep of this first novel, acclaimed non-fiction writer Amitava Kumar charts a tale of sexual anxiety and anarchic impulses in a society steeped in crime. Detailing the search among its members for order and artistic brilliance, Home Products brings alive the struggle against small-town beginnings
