Topic:- DU_J18_MPHIL_FRE_Topic02
- Rana Dasgupta's debut novel, Tokyo Cancelled, stands out from the crowd for a number of reasons, not least of which is that it's not, strictly speaking, a novel at all. Dasgupta himself describes it as a "story cycle", a term which hints at the fascination with traditional modes of storytelling. The action such as it is takes place in the definitively contemporary setting of an airport terminal. When snowstorms ground their flight to Tokyo, 13 passengers experience a moment of hiatus in their lives. Stranded beside the baggage carousels in an echoing arrivals hall for a single night, they huddle up, passing around packets of peanuts and final cigarettes until one of them suggests that "when you are together like this stories are what is required". And so the night is passed.

About the stories themselves there is nothing simple. A tailor sews a robe of surpassing beauty for an ungrateful prince; a Japanese entrepreneur risks all when he falls helplessly in love with a doll; in a Paris gripped by plague, an immortal changeling is touched by death. The stories are thematically linked, but discrete; the characters and setting of the framing device, meanwhile, are tenebrous, and accorded minimal space. Why did he choose to present his stories as a novel at all?
"Paradoxically, the more the world becomes interwoven the less it seems possible to tell a single, representative story of it yet the connections are real and lived," he says. "So how do you narrate this? I was trying to find a narrative structure that would have the form of a network, one that could admit the distances between places, but could also hint at the metaphors and analogies that connect them. As for the necessity of presenting a night of storytelling rather than 13 raw texts: at one level this is a nod to a tradition of other story cycles; at another, it serves to compress the narrative's time even as its space spreads out across the globe. Finally, I think it stages the production of "literature" as something that normal people do. If it seems fantastical that a collection of travellers might tell such stories then this raises the question of why it is so much easier to stomach the idea that Chaucerian illiterates might do so. One reason is the creeping institutionalisation of culture: only "writers" write, only "artists" make art, and everyone else can only consume. These stories aren't presented as non-negotiable outpourings from on high, but in a setting of people who are both artists and audience. By embedding them in life, by leading readers into a world that is rather like our own but where everyone tells stories, the book issues a challenge: for more storytelling."
While Dasgupta was born and brought up in the UK, it was not until he moved to Delhi that he decided to give up his job in PR and write full-time. Although Tokyo Cancelled appears to reject the primacy of location (the storytellers find themselves "in the Middle of Nowhere, in a place ... like a back corridor between two worlds"), the city's influence can be felt throughout the book.
[adapted from a Review in The Guardian, 29 March 2005]
