Great Indian Novel, The (PB)

‘In Shashi Tharoor's satirical masterpiece, the story of the Mahabharata is retold as modern Indian history, and renowned political personalities begin to resemble characters from the epic -all of whom have a curious and ambiguous relationship with Draupadi Mokrasi (D. Mokrasi for short) . . . Brimming with incisive wit and as enjoyable a read as it is cerebrally stimulating, The Great Indian Novel brilliantly retells reality as myth.’
