One line review - The God of Small Things
Arundhati Roy’s prose is almost too much at times and then suddenly exactly right. The structure - circling the same moment from different distances - should be exhausting but it’s not. The Kerala it describes, the caste and class mechanics operating quietly underneath every interaction, feels true in the way that only fiction about real things can. One of those books that changes the texture of the world slightly after you’ve read it.
