Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag
5.0
"Sir, you may want to wash your hand. There's blood on it."
A #micdrop should totally be added after that sentence and I won't even be mad...because THIS BOOK IS EVERYTHING.
"Ghachar Ghochar" by Vivek Shanbhag. It is about a family in Bangalore that climbed up the social ladder in a twist of fate. From an ants-infested dwelling to comfy house, the family is about to experience not just a change in fortunes but also a change in morals. As the New Yorker so eloquently described: "This tragicomic novella is a classic tale of wealth and moral ruin."
The pacing. The writing. The characters. The length. The punchlines. This is easily one of my favorite books this year. Truly a great example of a well crafted book.
