nuhafariha 's review for:
The Other Man
by Farhad J. Dadyburjor
Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available Oct 12th
To say that the repeal of Section 377 had a major impact on modern day Indian society is an understatement. It changed the lives of many, including "The Other Man" main narrator Ved. Dadyburjor's first venture into fiction follows an upper middle class man as he struggles to navigate his sexuality in the midst of a changing society. It is heartwarming and tenderly written.
Overall, I found the pace of the book to be difficult. At times, it felt like we were speeding through Ved's daily interactions and at other times, we lingered for far too long on a single scene. This could also be that there are too many scenes.
