Arrack In The Afternoon

a first attempt from the author. thats what the covers said when i bought this one. well i don feel so. an amazing piece of work for a first timer. he actually takes you to the lower reaches of mumbai along with Varghese and karan. the characters are life like and gives u a face of reality and excitement.

there is everything you want in there. each page is worth reading and makes you go for the next. i just want this one as a movie sometime soon. the highlight of the book i feel is the relation between Varghese and Karan. actually all the characters are worth mention.

the story goes as Varghese fails at an atempt of suicide .. he is a broken down poet. he is gathered from there by karan who builds him up into a GOD-man. the story takes you to the back drops of mumbai with a great array of colours both dark and sleazy.

a must read for all who like new experiences

Author: Mathew Vincent Menacherry
