En 'In Custody', Anita Desai nos presenta a Deven, un profesor universitario de una pequeña ciudad del norte de la India, cuya vida da un giro inesperado cuando se le encarga entrevistar a Nur, el poeta urdu más grande del país. Lo que comienza como una oportunidad para escapar de la monotonía de su existencia, pronto se convierte en una serie de desilusiones y desafíos. A través de la lente de la relación entre Deven y Nur, Desai explora temas como la decadencia cultural, la idealización del pasado y la búsqueda de significado en un mundo en constante cambio. Una novela conmovedora y a menudo humorística que invita a la reflexión sobre la identidad y el legado.
