Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya returns to Lift Bridge Book Shop to discuss his latest novel\, The Watch\, which isdue out in early June 2012. Joydeep is an engaging writer and speaker. The event is free and open to the public. His book will be available for purchase with an opportunity to get copies autographed by the author during his visit.

Here is a powerful and insightful description of the The Watch from Hogarth Press...
\;
\;
It has been over ten years since the United States
entered the War in Afghanistan. To date\, over 1\,800 U.S. service
members have been killed with 90\,000 troops still in Afghanistan. For
a decade\, we’ve been inundated with the horrific facts and figures\,
yet the reality of war is that we’ve become desensitized to what
those numbers truly represent—human lives. In the noble tradition
of the journalists\, film makers\, photographers\, and authors who have
used their work to bring to life the truths of war\, acclaimed author
Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya gives voice to this contemporary conflict
through his own medium\: a novel. The result is THE
WATCH (Hogarth\; June 5\, 2012)\,
an intensely
powerful and deeply affecting fictional portrayal of this very real
and contemporary conflict.
Inspired by the classic myth Antigone\, THE
WATCH begins with a young Afghan woman
mourning the death of her brother. Roy-Bhattacharya’s Antigone\,
however\, is the sister of an Afghan insurgent killed in battle while
trying to overtake an isolated U.S. military base in the Kandahar
Province. Tradition dictates he must have a proper Muslim burial and
so she approaches the base to demand the return of his body. For the
troops inside the base\, however\, experience has taught them that
nothing in this place is what it seems. After an intense night-long
battle that has left many of their own dead\, they now have to make
sense of this young girl. Is she the grieving sister she claims to
be? A suicide bomber? A spy? A decoy? Roy-Bhattacharya leaves his
reader asking those very same questions as THE
WATCH unveils each characters story. Told
through their multiple points of view\, he brings us into the minds of
the Lieutenant\, the Medic\, the Interpreter\, the Captain—and of
course Antigone—as they each try to hold their ground in this
stand-off between American and Afghan\, soldier and civilian\, logic
and compassion\, and doing what is right and honorable in a situation
where everything is anything but black and white.
In the course of his writing\, Roy-Bhattacharya has
forged profound relationships with several current and former members
of the U.S. military. The first readers of THE
WATCH\, they’ve been struck by
Roy-Bhattacharya’s powerfully realistic imagery and descriptions
and have given it their glowing endorsement. The beautiful writing
and in-the-moment-of-battle immediacy of THE
WATCH transports readers into the conflict
behind the headlines\, brilliantly capturing the story of the last
decade in all its complexities.
