The Atlas of Reds and Blues by Devi S. Laskar
5.0
Caveat: If you like your fiction super narrative and linear, with a neatly tied up ending, this book is not for you.
Otherwise, 5 stars. This sharp, lyrical book opens with the protagonist being shot by government agents in the driveway of her own home. (It was inspired by an actual incident that happened to the author.) The descriptions of this scene are interspersed with portrayals of a series of different incidents from the protagonist's past, involving family, work, racism, sexism, and relationships.
