Samskara: A Rite for a Dead Man by U.R. Ananthamurthy
3.0

3.5/4 stars, but it just feels so forgettable I gave it 3 stars.

Some parts of the book were amazing - existential questioning, the journey of Acharya, the foil of Putta with Acharya, and the ending.

Some parts were OK - the supporting characters were fun to read about but were underdeveloped, the women were especially flat and one-dimensional, and the one who wasn't was chased out of the book.

Some parts were not good - The flow of the book was stuttered. Some parts felt unnecessary and difficult to get through.
