Title: Seven Sixes are Forty-Three (Saat Sakkam Trechalis)
First published: May 15, 1995
Description: 'What difference does it make?' asks Kushank as he plays both witness and protagonist in an extraordinary drama teeming with the experiences of old friends, relatives and lovers. The explosive style and irreverent approach of Seven Sixes are Forty-Three caused an equally explosive reaction when it was first published in Marathi. Critics have struggled to reconcile its apparent nihilism with its underlying sense of optimism and joie de vivre.
