The Sunset Club by Khushvant Singh, another interesting novel from the veteran novelists among Indians.
The Sunset Club takes a look at old age fantasies and nostalgia as the three friends— Pandit Preetam Sharma, Nawab Barkatullah, Sardar Boota Singh — of more than 40 years sit together on a bench in Lodi Gardens to exchange news and views of the events of the day. It talks of everything from love, lust, sex and scandal.The Sunset Club is Singh’s second book this year. Previously this year his book Absolute Khushwant: The Low-Down on Life, Death and Most Things In-Between was brought out.Want to quote his words found in an interview with 'The Hindu'.So, how would he like to be remembered? He amiably offers lines of Hilaire Belloc: When I am dead, I hope it is said, “His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.”
