About This Novel
Behind a grain shop in a north Indian town, a treadle press runs after midnight. The Ink And The Iron follows Girdhar, a compositor who cannot write but can set any language upside down and backwards at speed, as the underground sheet he prints grows from four hundred copies to a movement the administration cannot ignore.
Arjun Mehrotra brings the physical world of printing alive: the smell of ink, the weight of a forme, the specific danger of a press that must never be heard. Around that machine he assembles a cast of teachers, students, informers and officers whose loyalties shift by the chapter.
A stirring, meticulously detailed epic about print, power and the people who set the words that changed a country.
