Calcutta Chromosome
Calcutta Chromosome | Amitav Ghosh
3 posts | 11 read | 8 to read
From Victorian lndia to near-future New York, The Calcutta Chromosome takes readers on a wondrous journey through time as a computer programmer trapped in a mind-numbing job hits upon a curious item that will forever change his life. When Antar discovers the battered I.D. card of a long-lost acquaintance, he is suddenly drawn into a spellbinding adventure across centuries and around the globe, into the strange life of L. Murugan, a man obsessed with the medical history of malaria, and into a magnificently complex world where conspiracy hangs in the air like mosquitoes on a summer night.

I picked up Ghosh's Calcutta Chromosome after reading his beautiful novel The Hungry Tide, but this book was a huge disappointment! I usually tolerate bizarre writing but this one just turned out to be more of a thriller in terms of the writing than of the genre itself. 😐

I have a pretty high tolerance for weird and bizarre books, but I think this was the book that pushed me to my limits.. #comeoneileen @Liberty
