It is said that a true literary work should pander more to the intellect of the readers and less to their emotion. Sadly and unfortunately, the reverse is true in Indian context. Everyday, book market is flooded with hundreds of new Bollywood style fictions with B grade level cheap entertainment. It feels pathetic to read them. The Jeera Packer by Prashant Yadav is a much needed course correcting release that every one including contemporary young writers should read.

When I turned the last page I wondered whether the book can be classified a Fiction or Non Fiction. Perhaps both. It has the spicy masala of a fiction and brain teasing Gladwellian stuff of non-fiction. I thought the protagonist Naina as the heroine but at the end it was Manvika, who turned out to be the real heroine – at least for me. [Read more…]
