In Custody, escrita por Anita Desai, es una conmovedora novela que explora temas de desilusión, el declive de la cultura urdu en la India y la búsqueda de significado en la vida cotidiana. La historia sigue a Deven, un profesor universitario que se encuentra con la oportunidad de entrevistar a un renombrado poeta urdu, Nur Shahjahanabadi, lo que lo lleva a un viaje de autodescubrimiento y a confrontar sus propias limitaciones y aspiraciones. A través de personajes complejos y una narrativa evocadora, Desai ofrece una reflexión profunda sobre la identidad, el legado cultural y la fragilidad de los sueños.
