Status Updates From A Fine Balance

Nearing denouement, the novel is nowhere close to having a point except being an exaggeration of poverty and melancholy in urban India. I guess this novel was written as poverty porn for Westerners by an author who either lacks empathy or is disingenuous. The language is good though.

I'm already behind on my reading challenge this year.

At this time, I am simply in awe of the writer's choice of words. All criticism aside, this is a well-written book.
