Arzee the dwarf

The eponymous protagonist is a very short man who works in an old cinema in Mumbai ("Arzee the dwarf" is what others know him as, it's implied).Yet I found myself sucked into Arzee's world.

I always knew by gut instinct that Chandrahas Choudhury's book would certainly be readable. But how much so, I had no idea until now.

One of the best books I've read in a while. While there is a convenient arrangement of faiths followed by some of the characters, the book rides on the shouldres of Arzee the protagonist, his dreams, ambitions and complexes.
