Quarterlife by Devika Rege review – an ambitious debut of the new India

Summary

Nutrition label

71% Informative

Devika Rege’s debut is not a definitive state-of-the-nation novel.

The novel opens with the homecoming of Naren Agashe , who has found that his life in America is like bread gone stale.

He doesn’t see it as going back to Bombay , as the city is called here: “Going back is the wrong word, the word is forward ”.

Quarterlife is a slow burn, taking characters from Anxiety’ to Stalemate ’ and beyond.

The city of Bombay is a huge mango tree and we're so ripe we’re quivering, but the mango never falls’. The country, meanwhile, is both “a body starting to eat itself” and a world spinning out wildly.
