‘The novel races and almost like a festival programme you hanker to linger longer with each of the many characters, so vivid, real and often funny that they are; each is worthy of their own book. Literary types will laugh in recognition as the novel overflows with pithy observations about the book world. You rarely stop to draw breath, but this is what gives Namita Gokhale’s novel its warmth, charm and vivacity’ (THE IRISH TIMES); ’Jaipur Journals is a wonderfully lively satire on the pretensions, frustrations and delights of the literary life, full of gentle wit, iconoclasm and mischief. Namita Gokhale made her literary reputation thirty years ago by breaking rules and upending conventions. Jaipur Journals shows that all these years her claws have not blunted, nor her innate naughtiness diminished, as she gleefully overturns literary mango carts, punctures bookish pomposity and generally makes magnificently mayhem in her entertaining romp set against the background of the world’s largest literary festival. If Kingsley Amis were ever to be reincarnated as sari-wearing Indian satirist, this might well be the book she would have written’ (WILLIAM DALRYMPLE); ’There is no event more magical than the Jaipur Lit Fest. This book captures the magic’ (GLORIA STEINEM); ’Namita Gokhale’s new novel is a literary laugh riot, which is sure to send the book world into a mad rush to unscramble who is who!’ (MEENA KANDASAMY)
