Trying to leave Bangalore every other weekend.
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
Twins in Kerala, a family tragedy, and language like nothing else. I underlined half the book. Push past the first 50 pages. The way it's told only makes sense once you're in.
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
A driver writes letters about how he got out, and partly it's set in Bangalore. Darkly funny and very sharp. Watch the film afterwards, not before. The book's voice is the best part.
