Ghachar Ghochar By Vivek Shanbhag | Translated by Srinath Perur

STEP INTO A SUSPENSEFUL, PLAYFUL, AND ULTIMATELY MENACING TALE ABOUT THE DESTRUCTIVE SHIFTING CONSEQUENCES OF SUDDEN SUCCESS.

From a cramped, ant-infested family home to a sprawling, spacious bungalow, an ordinary family finds itself undergoing a dizzying transition in wealth, status, and morality. The narrator, a sensitive young man adrift in the chaos, escapes the mounting pressure every day by fleeing to a quiet old-world cafe to seek solace from an oracular waiter.

As the family members rapidly realign their equations, ambitions, and desires with their newfound prosperity, new strands are tightly knotted while others violently come apart. Masterfully translated from the Kannada by Srinath Perur, Ghachar Ghochar is a razor-sharp modern masterpiece that explores how easily money can untangle the human soul.
