About this product

Product Information

Kwn for his cunning, dismaying and beautifully conceived fiction (New York Times), Akhil Sharma delivers a story of astonishing intensity and emotional precision. Growing up in Delhi in 1978, eight-year-old Ajay Mishra and his older brother Birju play cricket on the streets, eagerly waiting for the day they can join their father in America. America to the Mishras is, indeed, everything they could have imagined and more-until tragedy strikes. Young Ajay prays to a God he envisions as Superman, searching for direction amid the ruins of his family's new life. Heart-wrenching and darkly funny, Family Life is a universal story of a boy torn between duty and his own survival.

Boring and depressing, bought this as David Sedaris raved about it, it may be technically very good writing but it's not a happy story and I found myself skimming through the latter half just to get it out of the way. There's much better stuff out there.
