Give 'Em Hell, Hari by Ajay Singh
The war of Indian independence may have ended in 1947, but for a group of Indian journalists in an American news bureau in Delhi, it is still far from over forty-five years later. Only Hari Rana, aspiring reporter and unstoppable writer of letters on diverse subjects and head of communications can bridge the gap beween East and West. It's a mission that sends him to the heart of enemy territory: to the United States itself. What he finds there sends him home a very changed man. What you get when you cross Candide with The Henry Root Letters, Give 'Em Hell Hari reminds us that a talented writer can mix politics and comedy and still stay miles ahead of the game.
Through the eyes, ears and voice of his brilliantly original hero, Ajay Singh takes us on a lithe and intelligent political odysseyThis is a book bubbling over with ideas, full of invention, and shot through with the sweet and authentic spirit of comedy. Serious fun - and a reminder of the Indian novel's continuing capacity to surprise us * Jonathan Coe ?A hilarious attempt to update Voltaire?s Candide... Ajay Singh is clearly an intelligent writer with substantial comic powers? Daily Telegraph *
