Twilight of the Bums is a collaborative collection of 85 microfictions by GEORGE CHAMBERS and RAYMOND FEDERMAN, wildly cartooned throughout by artist T.MOTLEY. FEDERMAN is 80 years old, CHAMBERS 77, and the book is CHAMBERS's 5th and FEDERMAN's 56th! (according to him, but he s a noted liar). Both are long-time experimental fictionists Federman's work being known worldwide and translated in 14 languages. Together, the two old geezers, um, literary legends make THE TWILIGHT OF THE BUMS a multi-layered send-up of buddy-fictions from Waiting for Godot on down, at turns tender, hilarious, iconoclastic, and maddening. THE TWILIGHT OF THE BUMS is exemplary of the lettres de m-rde style Federman has designated LAUGHTERATURE.

Twilight on the Yamuna, traces the footsteps of Sandy, a young South Asian girl, whose search for love and truth brings her face to face with the harsh realities of a world no longer separated by stereotypes and presumptions. The novel retains a unique characterization that bridges literary and commercial fiction in a ‘mythic’ context, by drawing allusions between a ‘spiritual’ world, reflected in the narrator’s poetic oration at the beginning of each chapter, and the ‘contemporary’ society, reflected in the prose of the novel itself. At first glance, it is a tale of mystery and love but, upon closer inspection, it compels the more observant reader to ponder over the values and ideals that shape contemporary Indian, American, and Indian-American identities, in the United States, and back in India.
