lavish and colorful and sly and irreverent and cutting and all the time pretending to be gently bumbling along.
as a novel this is clean entertaining stuff that doesn't quite get written anymore.
for a first novel by a 25-year-old this is amazing.
the only quarrel i have is with the ending, where Ganesh's metamorphosis has an almost deux ex machina-like quality.
