This book is vaguely depressing even with its humour so I only read it in the mornings when there’s still some hope in the day.

The chapter I liked so much yesterday is starting to drag a bit. I have to remind myself that it is a translation and Indian storytelling is not as linear, sharp or focussed as western narratives often are.

Picking up this book again. I had to put it away because I was going through ‘The Vegetarian’ and too many madwomen tropes were going to me. But this book is delightful. Chandipatti may turn me into a dog person after all.
