The Art of Fiction has every aspect a director needs to capitalize for a movie: emotions , betrayal, CRICKET, Regionalism, Secularist , Separatists , Survival , Romance and yeah ITEM ;).
The First thing that catches the eye is : COVER , beautifully designed , simple , yet so vivid , Nice use of pastels , and Indian youth emotions (CRICKET).
To top it all , the Media Agency did the icing by quoting "New York Times: The Best-Selling English -Language Novelist in Indian History"
DUH ! ! ! Whatever...
Coming to the book , Well have been waiting for another piece by Chetan after devastating 1 Nyt@CC. This book See's him through, and beyond. Loads of interesting facts well threaded into fiction. The best part of the novel's : Chetan's not lost on with "Been There - Done That" for the reader , you still feel a part of the novel , through to the end AND he's Growing along with you ;)
I've been a part of 5.some1 during college days , and now feel the same way out here.
