| Book Review |
| "She is a delightfully funny, amiable satirist..." |
|
| "There are no grand, mythic visions at work in 'Hullabaloo', no ambitious displays of magical realism. Rather, the novel stands as a meticulously crafted piece of gently comic satire -- a small, finely tuned fable that attests to the author's pitch-perfect ear for character and mood, and her natural storytelling gifts....Ms. Desai has made a modest but enchanting debut." |
|
| "With this spritely first novel, Kiran Desai takes her place among the pack of gifted young Indian writers....This is a tale of people trapped by the demands of a half-crazed world." |
|
| "[An] enchanting first novel..." |
|
| "[A] clever, haunting parable that expresses the joys of simplicity while conveying the absurdities of everyday corruption in contemporary India....[T]he novel succeeds as a spectacularly fresh vision." |
