Thanks for writing, Olga! I just gave a sliver of info because these are short stories. While I enjoyed some of them tremendously, some did not work for me at all. Still, it's exciting to see how these unusual voices are now being heard. I would love for you to read GHACHAR GHOCHAR (also Kannada) by Vivek Shanbhag. Not to be missed!!!! https://kalpanamohan.substack.com/p/one-story-many-sides
Ooh thank you for this recommendation! Your description of it makes it sound really wonderful. Found it as an audio book in SFPL and will listen to it soon!
Kalpana, I just read Ghachar Ghochar, and wow, I loved it so much. Your review of it was perfect, and the whole little novel is just an amazing ride. I loved the narrative voice -- he's such a credible happy-go-lucky character, completely unable to stop or change this course of events that's happening to him. This is so wonderfully relatable and just.. wonderful! Thank you for recommending. So grateful!
Olga!!!! So kicked you read it and loved it. So now I have to get you to read several others. I’ve no doubt you’ll love these too. So happy it resonated!!!!
I've been really enjoy your blog and would love more recommendations! I'm not always as quick as this, but sometimes when I can find a book on audio, that has been the easiest way for me to read lately.
Ooh I just got this book in the mail. Thank you for this review and the context here. Looking forward to reading the book, equipped with your post!
