Voices in the Waiting Room
By Mayank Gupta
- Default Title
Description
When Dr Silva receives a bangle, it threatens to unravel the life she has so carefully constructed.Around her, four colleagues carry burdens of their own.
There is Dr Ankit, who fled a broken system in India and is now struggling to find a sense of homein a country that sees him as a stranger; Dr Pooja, poised on the outside but aching beneath thesurface; Dr Shashi, brilliant yet adrift in the ubiquity of human connections; and Dr Jindal, a pillarof the diaspora, undone by a grief too vast to articulate.
In the antiseptic corridors of a hospital in the United States, these voices intersect and intertwine,bound together by the universal need to be seen, understood and remembered.
Voices in the Waiting Room is a powerful, multi-perspective debut by Mayank Gupta about identity, displacement and the fragile bonds that tether us to one another. As each voice rises, falters and finally finds its place, Gupta crafts a chorus that is both intimate and resonant.
