A review by anthofer
Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag

4.0

It's almost more like a long short story than a novel, but it's also perfect in its tiny, crystalline structure, where nothing changes but it all just gets more "ghachar ghochar." I would very, very much like to see Shanbhag get after a bigger canvas, though I wonder if he would be able to arrange every tiny detail (ant houses! hot dal!) as precisely as he does here.
