Attempting to withhold judgement until I complete the book, but this ain't what I expected

this also works as a perfect critique of stalinism wtf

Infuriated that he was my age when he wrote this

Insanely readable

I can't believe YRF casted this intellectual giant in their stupid spy series as the RAW chief fffss

Bangalore does not come out alive from this book lol

Finished Part One. Love the style of first -person narration in this.

Can feel my brain chemistry altering

the ramblings of a guilty conscience

Fascinated by the aggressive non-usage of quotation marks for a conversation

Excellent introduction chapter
