A review by galoshes
A House for Mr Biswas by V.S. Naipaul

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

I tried the audiobook from the library. The reader sounded like a white British dude imitating an Indian accent and I couldn't get past how unsettling that is. Despite that, thinking only of the text, there were some funny moments and some wtf moments, but I'm not particularly a fan of this kind of glazed plotless memory trip through a character's life. I've read other similar books (Pachinko comes to mind) with lackluster impressions. I can't see myself sticking it out through this entire novel, it's just a style I don't personally like.
