Description:
ONE OF THEВ NEW YORK TIMESВ CRITICS' TOP BOOKS OF 2017
ONE OF VULTURE 'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURYВ
FINALIST FOR THE L.A. TIMES BOOK PRIZE IN FICTION
"A modern classic." — The New York Times Book Review
A young man's close-knit family is nearly destitute when his uncle founds a successful spice company, changing their fortunes overnight. As they move from a cramped, ant-infested shack to a larger house on the other side of Bangalore, and try to adjust to a new way of life, the family dynamic begins to shift. Allegiances realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background. Things become "ghachar ghochar"—a nonsense phrase uttered by one meaning something tangled beyond repair, a knot that can't be untied.
Elegantly written and punctuated by moments of unexpected warmth and humor, Ghachar Ghochar is a quietly enthralling, deeply unsettling novel about the shifting meanings—and consequences—of financial gain in contemporary India.
"A classic tale of wealth and moral ruin." — The New Yorker
"Ghachar Ghochar introduces us to a master." — The Paris Review
Named a Best Book of the Year by theВ Guardian, Globe and Mail,В andВ Publishers WeeklyВ
Shortlisted for the ALTAВ National Translation Award in Prose
Longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award
