In this stunning novel, prize-winning author Neel Mukherjee wrests open the central, defining events of our century: displacement and migration. Five characters, in very different circumstances - from a domestic cook in Mumbai, to a vagrant and his dancing bear, to a girl who escapes terror in her home village for a new life in the city - find out the meanings of dislocation and the desire for more.

Life Beyond My Own Shallow Context
Revisado: 12-09-18
I wish I could remember the name of the Canadian folk singer who informed: "if you were born in North America, you've already won the lottery".
As challenging and stressful as we think our lives are (often self-imposed) Neel Mukherjee's' characters teach us that their lives are beyond their own control, steeped in slowly eroding traditions. No matter how horrible our lives seem at times, most of us are able to avoid being the dancing bear.....at least so far......

For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Nice realignment for a life well lived
Revisado: 02-24-18
Too many self-help books are filled with ridiculous ideas about spiritual quests or existential esoteric eclipses of self-examination. Mark Manson offers an opportunity for an assessment of our own real values, not those imposed upon us by accepted norms.
By learning how to not give a fuck about external values, we can deeply attune our lives to what really matters to us most in our very short existence.
I highly recommend this work for anyone at a crossroads of any kind in life’s most rewarding journeys.
