| Summary, etc. | Vacuous detective P. Manjunath and his assistant, Heng, wrestle with an inscrutable mystery pickling their world, but their witless endeavours are pitted against the smartest person in the world–self-disgraced scientist Dr Krishna, who creates and destroys the universes the duo invariably inhabits. Luckily for them, they have no idea about this–or most other things.<br/><br/>Now, as a cat-and-mouse game ensues between creator and created, the genius scientist is limited by the precarious nature of existence, and Manjunath is unlimited by his stupidity. If God plays dice with the universe, how does he handle losing?<br/><br/>In Kanan Gill’s wildly entertaining and moving debut novel, a sentient wall struggles with the limits of its artistic expression, a lapel pin’s habit of always giving truthful advice results in utter chaos, a Danish police officer becomes the enlightened leader of a worldwide group of Science Haters and a pill is developed to cure the human condition. A delightful alchemy of humour, imaginativeness and philosophical provocation, Acts of God marks the evolution of one of India’s finest comedic voices.<br/><br/>(https://harpercollins.co.in/product/acts-of-god/) |
