Description
Sayantan Ghosh's warmly observed debut novel captures the specific texture of modern Indian loneliness—the kind that persists even in crowded cities, that survives the relentless connectivity of social media, and that makes the encounter with another genuinely lonely person feel like the most important thing that has ever happened. Written with the gentle humor and the genuine compassion for his characters that make this a debut of real distinction, this is contemporary Indian fiction for every reader who has ever wondered whether anyone else feels exactly this way. A charming and resonant debut.
