Review
‘Every fiction must create an illusion of reality; and Chaudhuri’s novels succeed in doing so to an impressive degree. He has such a tender intimacy with the world and the people who inhabit it’
(New York Review of Books)‘Chaudhuri’s languorous, elliptical, beautiful prose is impressively impossible to put in any category at all’
(Salman Rushdie)‘This evocation of the routine, quotidian magic of normality strikes me as an extraordinary thing to have brought off... mesmerizing’
(John Lanchester Vogue)About the Author
