Such a Long Journey by Rohinton Mistry

4.0

Mistry is a bleak, gritty writer that I've come to love. The three books I've read by him are about Parsis in Mumbai during the Emergency. Each describe a kind of heartbreaking corrosive sorrow of life that left me uncomfortable. I didn't understand the ending for this book though. It was abrupt. But yes, I can see why it was banned from the syllabus of U of Mumbai. Quite critical of Bal Thackerey and Shiv Sena. Overall, I'd recommend this book and this author.
