I first read this book in the Philippines and promptly took it out of hte library when I returned. I don't usually re-read books or short storis, but I've actually read this oee a few times. It sticks with me. I think its the deliciousness of hte characterers and hwo I feel as though I've been to Bomay and knows its landmarks and mood after reading these stories. The first one about the ghost in the old home is not my favourtie, but the Sikh detective, the computer software syspense tale, the social climbers,made a particular impression. I think its becuase the whole cocneit is a young man at loose ends goes to a bar where an old man tells him sotries and each story has multiple characters each also telling a story, so that the reader, like the young listener forgets that its a story within a story. I'm posting this reviw because the author Vkraam Chandra has just come out with a new novel based on the characters in one of these stories and I'm lookng forward to sinking myself into it.
