The scribe of this contemplative review pertinently claims that a review for this potent novel deserve greater space! But, there is always room for further interjection (I hope!). Anyhow, with due accord to my surmises this novel holds great socio-political relevance. In sum, it pencils out the depravity and ambivalence of matters that have ruptured the world in a mode of turmoil. Yet, there was something awfully fickle about Changez. He was initially very congenial about a life crammed in ‘Occidence’, but later entangled himself in a web of denial. Thus, one may call this a dismal tale of intensity or a story of exceptional hypocrisy.
A powerful book that chronicles a myriad of discordant images that battered the world in the wake of September 2001!
Something one should pick up without an air of tentativeness!

Excellent review – especially when I am desperately looking for something new and a bit different to all the other novels I am currently reading. Thank you Surya!

Well this seems pretty worthy to me :) I havent read it yet but it’s on my list – it’s all the more interesting to me now that you see it as an allegory.
