About this listen

"How ought one to live?" This is the question that obsesses London-based publisher Ayush, driving him to question every act of consumption. He embarks on a radical experiment in his own life and the lives of those connected to him: his practical, economist husband; their twins; and even the authors he edits and publishes. One of those authors, a mysterious M. N. Opie, writes a story about a young academic involved in a car accident that causes her life to veer in an unexpected direction. Another author, an economist, describes how the gift of a cow to an impoverished family on the West Bengal-Bangladesh border sets them on a startling path to tragedy.

Together, these connected narratives raise the question: How free are we really to make our own choices? In a scathing, compassionate quarrel with the world, Neel Mukherjee confronts our fundamental assumptions about economics, race, appropriation, and the tangled ethics of contemporary life.

If this hadn’t been a book club book for review, I’d have laid it aside after a few pages.
I found the subjects and the stories related in this book to be pointless and the whole book not entertaining or thought-provoking on the slightest.

Pointless

Not what I was expecting at all, and most certainly left wanting more. Which as the point presumably. Great novel.

Unusual but fascinating read
