The Sly Company Of People Who Care - Rahul Bhattacharya Free Ebook PDF epub Download
Starred Review.
The narrator of this debut, an Indian national, is a 22-year-old
cricket reporter who has left Bombay to explore Guyana's exotic landscape and
people ("Guyana was elemental, water and earth, mud and fruit, race and crime,
innocent and full of scoundrels"), many of whom he befriends. In vigorous yet
lyrical prose employing a pungent vernacular, Bhattacharya describes Guyana's
horrid heat and thunderous rain in sensuous detail: the pretentious, decaying
buildings of its capital, the unbearable humidity that settles on the men who go
"porknocking," or searching for diamonds in the muddy soil. Violence breaks out
easily during nights of drinking, yet people care about strangers. The narrator falls
for a seductive young woman, but their first trip together—to Venezuela—veers
from romance to threat when he re-enters Guyana without papers. In fact, a dark
undercurrent of dread haunts the novel, and what begins as a desultory
adventure story delivers the shock of multiple betrayals. Bhattacharya's distinctive
voice, which incorporates both Guyanese and Indian dialects, results in an
authentic and sybaritic tale. (May)
