Govindan Nair, an astute, down-to-earth philosopher and clerk, tackles the problems of routine living with extraordinary common sense and gusto, and his refreshing and unorthodox conclusions continually panic Ramakrishna Pai, Nair's friend, neighbour and narrator of the story. This evocative novel brings alive the raw texture of Indian life, and delights in its humour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'[A] pathbreaker of Indian writing in English'---\u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raja Rao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143422324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143422327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Penguin Modern Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Raja Rao","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46962001117439,"sku":"9780143422327","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a95fdfc-ee56-44ee-9868-11b2cb0a22ae.jpg?v=1750649013","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cat-and-shakespeare-raja-rao-9780143422327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
