English, August: An Indian Story by Upamanyu Chatterjee

1.0

Will i have to read it again when i am 30 tto actually get it?

This was just boring. I was hung up on it for months but i just decided that (gasp) I don't have to finish it!? It was funny in bits and i understand what the writer was doing. It's like an older "Wake up sid" after the sid of this books actually lands a bureaucratic job. Idk this didn't work for me and i am going to stoop punishhing myself over it and move ahead..
I wanted to give it 2 stars because i can see the merit of the writing without liking it. But that feels unreal and unnatural. So nope. Bye. Moving one.

(HOW IS THIS AN INDIAN CLASSIC?)
