Title: Lost its focus
Review: While I appreciated the use of langauage and the author's skill in crafting the novel, it lost its focus. It was also rather self-conscious and a glimpse into a very, very narrow slice of the immigrant experience. As a result the story lacked the hallmark of a great novel: universality.Nikhil a.k.a. Gogol, remained a bare bones character and the reader comes away with the impression that nomeclature is destiny-and that's all. The author has apparantly used this novel as a thinly veiled catalogue of mildly interesting autobiographical experience but the book lacks imagination, drive, vision. It is time for the author-clearly an adept writer-to take plunge into the unknown. I have a feeling that the results will be wonderful but this book does not get her there.
