Jameel Library@ Jameel Arts Centre publishes its first illustrated novel
15 Feb 2021

The Jameel Library, an integral part of Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai’s contemporary art institution, has published its first illustrated novel by Sarnath Banerjee. ‘17-year Cicada’ features ten chapters, released every fortnight on the Centre’s website. ‘17-year Cicada’ is an episodic account of a young woman trapped in a vast library. She goes through the stages of denial, anger and acceptance. Surrendering to her fate, she roams around the desolate reading rooms, walks between the shelves, takes selfies and eats from the well-stocked refrigerator. Sometimes she has imaginary conversations. The place feels like the furthest outpost of the Gobi desert.
