Absolute Khushwant

"I’m 95, and I’m not afraid to die. But before I go, I have a few things to say."

In Absolute Khushwant, the legendary writer, journalist, and provocateur Khushwant Singh opens up about life, death, sex, religion, politics, and everything in between—with his trademark honesty, wit, and irreverence. At 95, he looks back at a century of experiences, controversies, friendships, and feuds, sparing no one—not even himself.

This isn’t your typical autobiography. There are no long-winded timelines or dramatized nostalgia trips. Instead, it's a series of candid, no-holds-barred conversations with journalist Humra Quraishi. The tone is direct and engaging, as Singh tackles topics like aging, loneliness, God (whom he doesn’t believe in), the hypocrisy of religious leaders, and the changing face of India.

He talks about his love for Scotch, his crushes, his failures, and his enduring love for literature. He laughs at power and strips social taboos bare. What emerges is a portrait of a man who lived fully and wrote boldly, always challenging the status quo.

If you admire memoirs that are as gutsy as they are wise, Absolute Khushwant is for you. It’s insightful, outrageous, touching, and funny—often all in the same paragraph.
