Lindsay Pereira (born 1976) is a journalist,[1] editor, and novelist.[2] He is the author of Gods and Ends, published by Penguin Random House India in March, 2021.[3]
Career
Born in Orlem, Malad, Lindsay Pereira grew up in Bombay.[4] He studied at St. Xavier's College and the University of Mumbai and obtained a PhD in literature for his work on gender attitudes implicit in nineteenth-century Indian fiction.[5] He has worked as a journalist and writer for publications including The Huffington Post,[6] The Globe and Mail,[7] and New York Observer[8] and has been a columnist with the daily Mid-Day since 2015.[1][9]
He was co-editor with the late poet Eunice de Souza of Women's Voices: Selections from Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Century Indian Writing in English, published by Oxford University Press.[10] The anthology brings together writings of Indian women, including extracts from letters, diaries, essays and articles.
His novel, Gods and Ends, is the first book set in Orlem, and has been described as "a stark and fearless portrayal of the Roman Catholic community in the Bombay of yore."[11][12] A reviewer in The Hindu said: "To immerse oneself in this engaging, pulsating book is to be trapped in the world of its defeated characters."[13] A review in the Mint Lounge said it brought alive "the squalor, poverty, rampant misogyny and simmering violence through short episodes, either interior monologues by the characters or little vignettes of action."[14]
