A Suitable Boy
by Vikram Seth
- New
- Paperback
Penguin Books India, 2000. Softcover. New. âSet in post-independence India, the novel follows for eighteen months or so four linked families in Calcutta, the province of Purva Pradesh and its capital Brahmpur, and the citiesâDelhi, Kanpur, Lucknowâtrawled by the heroineâs mother in her search for a âsuitable boyâ⦠But the greatness of the novel, its unassailable truthfulness, owes less to research than to imagination, an instinctive knowledge of the human heart â with all its varieties of kindness and cruelty, its capacity for hurt⦠As with all the best books, one feels only dismay when the pages on the right of the tome start thinning out.â âThe Observer âSo vast and so amicably peopled, (A Suitable Boy) is a long, sweet, sleepless pilgrimage to life. Rich and epical, Suitable Boy is nonetheless strikingly unpretentious⦠In 1,400 pages (the novel) covers India like a sun, warming a whole country in its historical rays⦠It is almost impossible to imagine an unswayed reader.â âThe Guardian âNot merely one of the longest novels in English; it may also prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century.â âThe Times âA phenomenon, a prodigy, a marvel of 19th century storytelling in the language of today⦠It is hard to believe that Seth is only one man. He writes with the omniscience and authority of a large, orderly committee of experts on Indian politics, law, medicine, crowd psychology, urban and rural social customs, dress, cuisine, horticulture, funerary rites, cricket and even the technicalities of shoe manufacture.â âEvening Standard âPuts a subcontinent between hard covers⦠hundreds of people stream into view and are illuminated by the brilliant, warm lucidity of Vikram Sethâs regard⦠Conceived on the grand scale of the great 19th century novelsâWar and Peace, MiddlemarchâA Suitable Boy grows to match them in its breadth and depth⦠(A) massive and magnificent book.â âThe Sunday Times âWe should be grateful for this panoramic sweep which revives in our memory a period when a whole way of life came to an endâ¦(Sethâs) sure touch is really quite incredible, his characters are consistent from beginning to end.â âThe Hindu âA quietly monumental novelâ¦(Seth) has given us that unlikeliest of hybrids, a modest tour de force.â âTimes Literary Supplement Printed Pages: 1368.
