The reviews say:
“[written] in unusually rich and precise language… without a doubt a major work.”
Mint “Its power to turn the subculture of dreams into a contemporary political fable will make Lunatic a classic in the years to come. We will be proud to have been its earliest readers.”
“… a very confident debut.” “The tone of Lunatic in my Head is gentle and thoughtful, it respects the reader by never falling into the trap of trying to impress.... Hasan, in other words, has done her job.” “Anjum Hasan tells a compelling story and she tells it exceedingly well.” “Lunatic in my Head is one of the few Indian English novels I have read in recent times and found genuinely worth reading.” For the full story, buy the book... |
“…haunting, lyrical and daring, bringing fresh air
into the stale confines of Indian writing…” Siddhartha Deb, author of Surface and Point of Return |
