what a novel. would never have read this if not for class. for how influential my professor claims it to be, i've never read anything with a writing style quite like this. i enjoyed it overall, the meandering nature of plot and sentences similar to how i write and think. pathetic man of a narrator also is a fun parallel to so many current beloved characters. there's so much here i'm probably not grasping because i know next to nothing about 20th century indian politics but even without that the world is massive and well-explored
