In this sequel to Upamanyu Chatterjee’s debut novel, English, August, Agastya Sen- older, funnier, more beleaguered, almost endearing- and some of his friends are back. Comic and Kafkaesque, The Mammaries of the Welfare State is a masterwork of satire by a major writer at the height of his powers. (https://www.penguin.co.in/book/the-mammaries-of-the-welfare-state/)
