English, August by Upamanyu Chatterjee is a truly Indian story of Agastya Sen, an urban drifter, beyond the staples of partition, communalism and cricket. This urban child of #Delhi gets posted in the Indian hinterland, as an #IAS trainee. I found his brand of humour, emptiness, restlessness and indecision very relatable.#mustread because such a sharp criticism of our corrupt administrative system wouldn't be possible in today's ban-crazy monolithic culture.Rating: 4/5#bookstagram #fictionhead #books #bookreviews #penguinindia
