Jan 22nd, 2020 || 🌿my latest reads🌿 . 👉🏼 i'm afraid of men by Vivek Shraya. this little book (barely 80 pages) manages to pack so much into it. it’s all about Shraya’s experiences with men regarding her identity and her transition. it is very raw and honest. i have only one complain: i wish it were longer. rating: 8.5/10 . 👉🏼 ghachar ghochar by Vivek Shanbhag. another short one that again manages to “talk” about loads of stuff. first of all, shout out to the incredible translation by Srinath Perur because it truly doesn’t feel as if this novel was translated. the language just flows beautifully. the novel is basically about a family who goes from poverty to sudden wealth and how that affects them individually and collectively. Shanbhag commentary on money is spot on. rating: 7.5/10. . do yo know of any short novel that also manages to carry a lot of weight? • • • • #adayinbooklandreviews #ghacharghochar #imafraidofmen #vivekshraya #vivekshanbhag #literaryfiction #indianliterature #booksandcoffee #booksandblankets #bookish #bookrecommendations #unitedbookstagram #wednesdaybooks #januaryreads https://www.instagram.com/p/B7oSoOxojsq/?igshid=1q4cymnz971xi
