Author Talwinder Singh launches new novel
Author Talwinder Singh officially announced the launch of his much-anticipated novel, The City and the Silence, a compelling work of contemporary literary fiction that delves into the emotional, philosophical, and psychological layers of modern urban life. Published by Anecdote Publishing House, founded by Sagar Azad, the novel was unveiled at a well-curated literary launch event attended by writers, artists, media professionals, and readers.
The event was anchored by Harry Anand, who guided the evening with engaging discussions around literature, creativity, and inner awareness. Set against the vibrant and ever-moving backdrop of Mumbai, The City and the Silence follows the journey of Tony, a writer grappling with ambition, heartbreak, creative restlessness, and the quiet existential questions that emerge beneath outward success.
As the city throbs with constant noise and urgency, Tony slowly discovers that the most profound truths reveal themselves only in moments of stillness. In the novel, the city is portrayed not merely as a setting, but as a living, breathing presence-at once a mirror and a mentor. Through relationships, solitude, and deep introspection, the narrative explores how clarity and meaning are found not by escaping life, but by engaging with it fully and consciously. Blending emotional realism with philosophical depth, The City and the Silence.
