The Archivist of Dust

By Brinda Phokeerdass

In the silence between breath and ash, a voice begins to remember.

The Archivist of Dust is a haunting meditation on memory, exile, and the fractured inheritance of colonial trauma. In a narrative as fragmented as the histories it seeks to preserve, Brinda Phokeerdass crafts a lyrical journey through ghost-islands, vanished names, and the lingering violence of forgetting.

Told through a chorus of whispers, myth, and silence, this book is less a story than a ritual-an act of mourning, of archiving what has been erased. Here, dust is not just what remains, but what resists.

For readers of experimental fiction, postcolonial poetics, and those drawn to the spaces between language and loss, The Archivist of Dust is a powerful elegy to what slips through the cracks.
