Still probably one of my favorite paragraphs of all time

I loved Vivek Shanbhag’s GHACHAR GHOCHAR, and loved his new novel, SAKINA’S KISS. The book increasingly sidesteps expectations, with a narrator that reminded me of OPEN CITY and SOMETHING HAPPENED, and ends with a surprising final act that’s one of the boldest moves I’ve seen in a book recently.
