Overview

India's literary novel of the year--an enthralling, award-winning debut from a ""blazingly original voice"" (Vauhini Vara). ""In the fashion of the big novels by Salman Rushdie or Amitav Ghosh"" (Biblio), Quarterlife is a groundbreaking portrait of a nation on the cusp of a new age. When the Bharat Party comes to power after a divisive election, Naren, a jaded Wall Street consultant, is lured home to Mumbai. With him is Amanda, a restless New Englander eager to embody her ideals through a teaching fellowship in a Muslim-majority slum. Meanwhile, Naren's charismatic brother Rohit, an amateur filmmaker, sets out to explore his roots and befriends the fiery young men of the Hindu nationalist machine. Their journeys lead them into an astonishing milieu of brutal debates and infatuations as fraught as they are addictive, feeding into a festive night when all of Mumbai is on the streets--where the simmering unrest erupts. Hailed as ""a landmark novel"" (Indian Express), Quarterlife is a brilliantly innovative work that tests the limits of what the novel can achieve.
