Sharp, biting, very funny and smart novel about India and Indians. More precisely, about Indian men, hand and foot tied by traditions, conventions and prejudices. Ayan - from a lower caste, such as he does not break through to the top, the way there is forbidden for them - caste restrictions, poverty and lack of education. But Ayan is unique. He is too smart, agile and enterprising. He has already managed the impossible - by the age of forty he is not only alive and well (which for an Indian man from the lower layers is tantamount to a miracle), but also works not as a rickshaw, not as a laborer for everything about everything, but as a personal assistant to a brilliant scientist, an astrophysicist with a worldwide reputation and unbearable character. But this is not enough for Ayan, he hatches a cunning and ambitious plan - to fly into the stratosphere of society. And his own son will serve as a launch vehicle for him - a smart, sensible boy, tormenting teachers with his wunderkind antics. Ayan dreams of putting an arrogant boss in his place, reviving his fading marriage, and at the same time becoming famous and getting rich. And while the Brahmin astrophysicists are fighting fierce battles for the theory of alien life, Ayan gradually builds his own disposition for attack. An incredibly funny, completely irreverent novel about ambition and an inflated ego, about the conflict of Indian bonds and inexorable progress, about quiet love and its strange consequences.
