slow...

by Digonta Bordoloi

A boy who never grows up. A country that is always developing. Slow, a story that begins in India at a place and time where only rats participate in rat-races. Narrated through the eyes of Baba, going through his idyllic childhood doing things at his own pace, and the lives of his parents, brother, servants and friend, Neloy. Slow portrays the humorous quirks of growing up within as diverse a culture as India, yet unfolding a perspective that has universal appeal. “Slow is a luxuriously sensual and provocative journey through life and death that examines the beauty and irony in the world around us.” FourWord Clarion Reviews (USA)
