Our First Novel

In The Tortilla Curtain by T.C. Boyle, the realization that life is perpetually unfair and disappointing is the common thread that connects an illegal immigrant couple named Cándido and América Rincón and an upscale, yuppie couple named Delaney and Kyra Mossbacher. Both couples have their own version of the American Dream, and both find their dreams to be merely illusions, even though one couple has reached its goals and the other is still fantasizing about them.

Alan Hodara already did! He likes The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Check it out!

In her first novel, award-winning Indian screenwriter Arundhati Roy conjures a whoosh of wordplay that rises from the pages like a brilliant jazz improvisation. The God of Small Things is nominally the story of young twins Rahel and Estha and the rest of their family, but the book feels like a million stories spinning out indefinitely; it is the product of a genius child-mind that takes everything in and transforms it in an alchemy of poetry. The God of Small Things is at once exotic and familiar to the Western reader, written in an English that's completely new and invigorated by the Asian Indian influences of culture and language. ~ Amazon.com Review
