THE CYCLIST & A GOOD INDIAN WIFE drama mysteries black comedy novels books

The Cyclist - Viken Berberian- is a stunningly original novel about food and political violence. It's a psychological ride into the tropics of terror, to the edges of our national and existential borders: the ones set at birth, the ones we are born into. The enigmatic narrator is a young trainee of the Academy, a terrorist group in the present-day Middle East. This unnamed, transnational pawn has a single mission: to deliver a bomb by bicycle to a hotel, where it will explode, killing hundreds of civilians. But his story is anything but simple. Combining surrealism, tragedy and humor, The Cyclist is a journey into the unsettling workings of the terrorist mind. A Good Indian Wife by Anne Cherian- Handsome anesthesiologist Neel is sure he can resist his family’s pleas that he marry a "good" Indian girl. With a girlfriend and a career back in San Francisco, the last thing Neel needs is an arranged marriage. But that’s precisely what he gets. His bride, Leila, a thirty-year-old teacher, comes with her own complications. They struggle to reconcile their own desires with others’ expectations in this story of two people, two countries, and two ways of life that may be more compatible than they seem. drama, mystery, black comedy, cultural, contemporary Condition- both are in very good condition , minimal signs of wear & use MATERIAL- 1 paperback, 1 hardcover **ALL MY LISTINGS ARE BUY 1 GET 15% OFF, SO BUNDLE AWAY! ** Thanks for visiting my Shop!
