| Who's calling? poguide vr Kumar is a specialist in rheology ("the science of deformation and flow. Even so-called 'solids' flowﾃ｢ﾂﾂｦ", he explains) and the theme of "flow" governs both the novel's content and its fluid, mellifluous style, winding and weaving like the river Ganges through characters' stream-of-consciousness memories. The influence of Primo Levi and WG Sebald is strong in this richly intertextual novel exploring genocidal violence and the effects of the political on the personal. Singh's background as a scientist is apparent in the beautifully deployed scientific imagery: the past is like "drops of helium" that "refuse to disappear". | |
