Smart and funny' - The New York Times ' The writing is exuberant' - Times Literary Supplement All a man really wants is to be greater than his friends. Such is the belief of Ayyan Mani, who spends his time dreaming up ways to elevate himself above the banality of everyday life in the Mumbai chawls.

Manu Joseph's razor-sharp wit and archly comic observations combine in this seriously unputdownable debut.
