Down with the Poor!

By Shumona Sinha

Book Overview

"Through the poetic force of her writing, Sinha brings a broken world to burning point." --Le Monde

Over the course of a night in police custody, a young woman tries to understand the rage that led her to assault a refugee on the Paris metro. She too is a foreigner, now earning a living as an interpreter for asylum seekers in the outskirts of the city. Down With the Poor , which borrows its title from a poem by Baudelaire, is the story of a woman who, little by little, is contaminated by the violence of the world.
