Review:
Many of the sections are sprinkled with otherworldly moments and spectral figures, so that these narratives read almost like ghost stories, while others are rooted firmly in the achingly realistic, unequal, and unjust soil of modern day India.
The most astonishing and brilliant novel I have read in a long, long time.--Hanya Yanagihara
Mukherjee looks straight at the ugliest parts of an unequal society and uses what he finds to construct something beautiful.
Neel Mukherjee has a genius for storytelling.... [He's] a writer of abundant gifts.
Experimental.... The characters are connected less by the slender narrative thread than by their acute awareness of inequity.
A writer who can envelop you in the worlds he creates, and whose piercing eye for detail can send you reeling.... [Mukherjee] seeds his tales with images of unexpected beauty... an extraordinary account of the tenacious will to survive.
His best work yet.... This bleak and entirely justified vision of modern India is what binds together Mukherjee's stories and indeed his oeuvre.
Uniquely suited to depicting the operation of fate and coincidence, and to showing relationships and characters from a variety of angles.... Unsparing.
