Red Earth and Pouring Rain

Red Earth and Pouring Rain | Vikram Chandra

4 posts | 4 read | 2 reading | 7 to read

The gods of poetry and death descend on a house in India to vie for the soul of a wounded monkey. A bargain is struck: the monkey must tell a story, and if he can keep his audience entertained, he shall live. The result is Red Earth and Pouring Rain, Vikram Chandra's astonishing, vibrant novel. Interweaving tales of nineteenth-century India with modern America, it stands in the tradition of The Thousand and One Nights, a work of vivid imagination and a celebration of the power of storytelling itself. 'A dazzling first novel written with such originality and intensity as to be not merely drawing on myth but making it.' Sunday Times

My September #tbr pile of books I must finish this month (two due soon to the library, 2 are for book clubs, 1 is a book I started in January and am well overdue on returning to 😂)

What a book. I read this authors short stories and they amazed me, then I went and read this. If each of his short stories could be a short film, this would be an award winning film.
