Sorabh Pant is een gevierde Indiase komiek en auteur. Zijn tweede roman, 'Under Delhi', is een boos en grappig verhaal over een meisje dat vecht tegen verkrachters in Delhi, een bewijs van zijn diepe bewondering voor Indiase vrouwen. Zijn debuut, 'The Wednesday Soul', werd geprezen om zijn hilarische en gedurfde verbeelding. Pant's schrijfstijl combineert behendig scherpe humor met een scherp inzicht in maatschappelijke kwesties, met behoud van een unieke en provocerende stem.
The book presents a satirical take on the political landscape, centering around comedian Sorabh Pant. It critiques the notion of celebrity influence in politics, suggesting that Pant's lack of relevance and expertise disqualifies him from serious consideration. Through humor and sharp commentary, the author explores themes of political apathy and the absurdity of public figures entering the political arena, ultimately urging readers to reconsider their voting choices.
Arjun Singh is an accountant by day and a demigod by night. But he'd rather care about GST than his superpowers-even less so about life himself. Arjun is about to be murdered by goons and he couldn't be happier. He's spent his life waiting for death. Unfortunately, things do not go as per plan. Much to Arjun's chagrin, he manages to live. But things get a lot worse than a failed death. Arjun is an accountant but behind this façade he's protecting his identity as an almost indestructible species of humanoids, a power that Arjun would gladly exchange for a bushel of bananas and a vat of rum. And now some people know exactly what Arjun is capable of. He's forced to work for an alcohol baron's unofficial army, assassinate terrorists and fall into life-or-death battles with a Chinese dragon. What is even worse is that they've not cleared his taxes yet. Combining dark humour with a whirlwind plot-Pawan is a story of a reluctant superhero, the futility of war, and a whole lot of rum.
