Prelude to a Riot

Racy and realistic

Finished reading this in one sitting. Thanks to Anne Zaidi for her strength of thought and the choice of words. The writing seems so effortless, and yet, a labor of love. The us vs them, in vs out, and now vs past are all narratives that determine the course of life, and in breaking them, and in questioning these assumptions, like the wacky history teacher Garuda does, or how DeeD paints her poems, or how Devaki breaks moulds with her brave words. This novel struck a chord with me and I am leaving this, a better man.
