The death of a parent can unleash a turbulent storm of unexpected emotions. ‘Death of a Modernist’ explores the social, cultural, aesthetic, and emotional forces that churn into motion in contemporary India with the passing of a noteworthy person. This deeply personal account is set in Chandigarh, postcolonial India’s city famous for its 20th-century modern architecture. Through the voice of a narrator struggling to retrieve a body for its funeral, the book examines the universal conundrums of death, life, and inheritance. At its heart lies the figure of modernism today, itself often given up for dead.
