BOOK I AM CURRENTLY READING
I had a lot of books to read, but when I saw the review copy of the book I am writing about today, I pounced it before anyone else had a chance. The perks of coming to office before most people!
I loved Arvind Adiga. I loved The White Tiger, and while I know a lot of people who did not like the book at all, I totally loved it. So I was pretty excited when I heard his new book was about to release.
Don't be discouraged by the bright pink jacked of the hard cover version. The story is as gritty and 'un-pink' as Adiga can get. The story is set in Mumbai, and is a great (not always beautiful though) glimpse of the city. Also it's central narrative about the residents of an old cooperative society who have received a lucrative offer from a real estate developer, is a story many people of the city have lived through.
Adiga writes with a certain rage I have come to like. His stories are set in very familiar urban surroundings and I often feel like I know what he is talking about even though nothing like his stories have ever happened to me (thank heavens).
I like how Last Man in Tower is progressing, as of now. But what can I say... I am a fan.
