...has been "Animal's People" BY Indra Sinha. Touching, irreverently funny and bawdy, bold and unapologetic, hardhitting and a myriad of other adjectives that come to mind when I look back at the experience of reading about Animal(Janwar) and his twisted world. One of the most endearing characters I have encountered in a long time- most certainky one of the Top Ten characters I have come across in my lifetime(a list which is still headed by The Little Prince).Hard to believe that it didnt win the Man Booker in 2007 inspite of a nomination- and since I have not read the eventual winner, lets say no more on that)
Please do read and let me know what you thought of the book
