Fantastic experimental book. Your experience will be better if:

1. You understand it’s not a novel but a short story cycle embedded in a first person frame narrative. 
2. You understand that time is a circle, not a line. 
3. You have experience reading books by South Asian authors and some knowledge of the mythological fiction category.
