It’s uproariously funny, outrageously irreverent … [and] reveals the city as a character, an actor, a living being.’ – Pankaj Upadhyaya, Mumbai Mirror’Nagarkar is a genuine experimentalist: he combines in his writing a tremendous instinct for storytelling with a rare openness of imagination. He is willing to go where it takes him, express it in whatever form and through whichever language. What remains constant is his subversive pleasure in fiction for its own sake. It makes him one of our most precious writers.’ – Anjum Hasan, The Caravan’Nagarkar’s second novel [is] insouciant, savage, disarming and profound – [His] imagery has the quality of switch-blades flickering in the dark alley of the narrative. [His] humour is dark, but passionate.’ – Manjula Padmanabhan, The Asian Age’It’s bawdy, it’s wicked and it’s irreverent. [Ravan and Eddie] is a wild romp through a quintessential Indian institution: the chawl.’ – Business World Pages: 332 Available in: PaperbackLanguage: EnglishTAGSBestsellersFiction
