Book Reviews
The book is a collection of around forty dialogues between the writer and interlocuters both real and imagined. She has impassioned exchanges about the oddities of Bollywood cinema, frustrating government offices, and gender-neutral clothing for children. Despite how varied the subject of these conversations are, they are united by their freedom of spirit. There is an intimacy in the nonsensical nature of the dialogue, emotions fly freely in Manickavel’s writing. Her speakers laugh, and scream, and are exasperated with each other liberally and without shame.
