Title: this is how it was for a certain generation - heroes, no superheroes
Review: A wonderful, easy read. Well-written and not too self-consciously poetic or exotic, it tells the simple and not too-heartwrenching tale of Gogol Gangali, born to Bengali parents in a suburb of Boston who grows up relatively happily, but eventually develops the usual insecurities about his heritage and his name. One odd thing about the book, which occasionally irritates, is how each part of the book seems to be "narrated" (although it's done in the third person) by a different character, by three of the four members of the family and then eventually also by an outsider. There they are, all the passions of young life, the hopes and the dreams, the ordinary conflicts, and the poetry of daily life. No aliens attack, there are no major catastrophes, just the rituals of preparing food, preparing for holidays such as Christmas and thanksgiving (although there are Bengali festivals as well), and the changing nature of family. Nice.
