298 books1,423 followers
Khushwant Singh, (Punjabi: ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ਵੰਤ ਸਿੰਘ, Hindi: खुशवंत सिंह) born on 2 February 1915 in Hadali, Undivided India, (now a part of Pakistan), was a prominent Indian novelist and journalist. Singh's weekly column, "With Malice towards One and All", carried by several Indian newspapers, was among the most widely-read columns in the country.

An important post-colonial novelist writing in English, Singh is best known for his trenchant secularism, his humor, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons of social and behavioral characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit.

Um livro que se lê bem, mas que não encanta. Gostei especialmente de ler sobre a relação do autor com a avó e do conto que lhe dedica. De resto, entende-se a crítica social e a denúncia da hipocrisia, mas a escrita não me cativou por aí além.
Penso que o livro "Deli", do mesmo autor, e que também tenho cá por casa, será muito mais interessante do que este.

Breve coleção de contos que ilustram a sociedade indiana do último século. Uma escrita crua e estórias por vezes cruéis. O último conto é na realidade uma autobiografia resumida com a honestidade desenvergonhada que só a longa idade possibilita. Os muitos sikhs e hindus fanáticos que desejaram a sua morte não lhe mereceram nenhuma referência.

Cute sweet-sour short stories. Typical Khushwant Singh.
