A review by sheelal
Surface by Siddhartha Deb

5.0

beautiful writing - the bits about kolkata reminded me of the film teen yaari katha. when amrit travels through the northeast, it isn't portrayed patronizingly. the politics aren't laid out systematically and the smaller stories effectively highlight the nuanced complexity of the situation in the north east.

would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in a survey understanding of this part of the country
