A review by soshivaniofher
Kanthapura by Raja Rao

4.0

considered the manifesto of indian writing in english, i feel it is important for every indian reader to read this work of fiction, once in their lives. the novel incorporates indian tradition of storytelling, sthalapuarana, and intermingles it with the western ideal of writing a novel. raja rao's writing is exquisite and heavily influenced by indian philosophy and culture. (as is seen almost at every turning page in the novel).
