Amitav Ghosh’s novel goads us to seriously rethink our world, and finds new relevance under current circumstances.
Things fall apart; the centre cannot
hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the
World,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and
Everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is
Drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
— W B Yeats, “The Second Coming”
