ABOUT THE BOOK

Aseem, Virendra and Arun meet each other in IIT
– a place regarded as the gateway to success, wealth,
and fame by all who enter it. All except Arun. After
university, he becomes a translator of Hindi novels,
and watches Virendra become a hedge fund mogul in
America and Aseem a swashbuckling media darling in
Delhi. Eventually, Arun is drawn into a love affair with
a beautiful, wounded young woman, even as Virendra
and Aseem’s lives fall spectacularly apart. And in this
love affair and its violent denouement, Arun realizes
he is as implicated in the world he has disowned as
his friends were. That he too, like them, is as sullied, as
compromised.

Run and Hide is the story of an India that has
transformed itself in the last twenty years, both
materially and morally, and it tells more deeply and
truly how those two things are wholly entwined than
any novel in recent years. Profound, deeply human,
perfectly realized, this is a magisterial work – and
Mishra’s masterpiece.
