Ghachar Ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag

5.0

At only 118 pages, this novella lends itself to a re-read, which I most certainly need. At first, the story seems like a slice-of-life narrative with moments of brilliant truths scattered in. At end, I realized I had missed a lot of foreshadowing I should have seen and was left in awe of the way the sinister was woven so tightly into the quotidian that I missed it completely.
