This novel is a drag despite the fact that its only 176 pages.Its absolutely exhausting. Additionally irritating. The characters are so idiotic. A taxidemist has welcomed himself to live over a printers shop. The taxidermist doesnt need to pay lease. Everyone is truly irritated b/c the dead bodies smell awfull and in reality pets are being shot. So why cant the printer simply advise the taxidermist to get out? At that point individuals begin thinking the printer is to blame - why might he give the taxidermist a chance to remain there without paying rent?! There must be an association between the two. The failure of the printer to kick the person out is just so weak. I discover it a major exercise in futility perusing this. In the event that a book is so terrible I cant proceed with, well then it just gets one star. I think unfortunately that this contemporary Indian author is so very acclaimed. He wins a wide range of prizes. What would it be advisable for me to gain from this? Try not to peruse
