‘TWILIGHT PRISONERS IS IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN, GOING DEEPER THAN ANYONE ELSE DARES INTO THE HISTORY OF INDIA’S CRIMES AGAINST ITS PEOPLE. IN ITS PORTRAITS OF TITANIC CONTEMPORARY FIGURES OF RESISTANCE, IT ALSO PROVIDES SOMETHING VANISHINGLY RARE: A MARGIN OF HOPE. A GREAT AND NECESSARY BOOK.’ ―NIKIL SAVAL

An incisive, lyrical, and deeply reported account of India’s descent into authoritarianism. Traveling across India, interviewing Hindu zealots, armed insurgents, jailed dissidents, and politicians and thinkers from across the political spectrum, Siddhartha Deb reveals a country in which forces old and new have aligned to endanger democracy. The result is an absorbing―and disturbing―portrait. India has become a religious fundamentalist dystopia, one depicted here with a novelist’s precise language and eye for detail. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his party―a formation explicitly drawing on European fascism―has deftly exploited modern technologies, the media, and market forces to launch a relentless campaign on minorities, women, dissenters, and the poor. Deb profiles these people, as well as those fighting back, including writers, scholars, and journalists. Twilight Prisoners sounds the alarm now that the world’s largest democracy is under threat in ways that echo the fissures in the United States, United Kingdom, and so-called democracies the world over

Born in Shillong, India, Siddhartha Deb lives in Harlem, New York. His fiction and nonfiction have been longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award, shortlisted for the Orwell Prize, and been awarded the Pen Open Prize. His journalism and essays have appeared in The New York Times, Guardian, New Republic, Baffler, n+1, Dissent and Caravan.
