Summary of Trickster City : Writings from the Belly of the Metropolis
THE BOOK
Trickster City is an extraordinary composite of writings on Delhi by a group
of young people who have, over several years, sustained among themselves and
with others around them, a relationship of conversing
about the city.
This collection chronicles the loss of home and livelihood through
urbaneviction; encounters with the agencies of the state; love stories gone
awry; the fragility of relationships; and the sustained effort to build life in
anticipation of beauty and pleasure.
The writers draw from experiences, events and biographies, part fictive, part
documentary, to inscribe an image of the city that is rarely available. There is
a yearning in their writings for the expression of the poetic and
allegorical alongside the harshness of everyday existence. Trickster City is an
aphoristic and playful meander in search of a new language that expresses the
profound uncertainties and delicately realised joys of urban life.
