I enjoyed this novel set in Delhi about a history teacher dealing with changes in his family and country. His trouble at work reflects a wider tension between Hindus & Muslims. He is bookish & philosophical but those around him are becoming more binary & commercial. A little slow & esoteric (for someone with no knowledge of India‘s history) but I was invested in Alif & enjoyed the rich details, sense of place & gentle comedy.
