A review by rkapil7
The Romantics by Pankaj Mishra

4.0

This is quintessential coming of age novel. Although both the story is dull and the main point behind writing (when we seek other we remain unhappy something like that I read in the review of this book) the novel still remains obscure for me. However the writing style of the author is commendable. The way he creates varanasi for us is magical. The way he writes on the nuance experiences of growing up and the mix of cultures is noteworthy.
May be the reason for this book remaining unpopular would be the dull story line, otherwise if you are looking for above things in a novel then I would recommend it.
