Nostalia the mine is a fantasy of a collective existence where there were no foreigners. The nostalia that i'm talking about here is deeply private. Its deeply intimate. In a way, it's very much part of my childhood. It's not something that can be politicized. I don't think any of my nostalgia is exclusionary in that way.
This week on the Penguin Podcast, Nihal Arthanayake is joined by renowned essayist and novelist, Pankaj Mishra, to discuss his new novel, Run and Hide. Together they discuss the meaning of art and the novel, the Tibetan landscape and the Himalayas, nostalgia, and wood-panelled train compartments.
