Thestories in Rahul Mehta's Quarantineamplify a surprising new voice: gentle, even tender, but powerful." Pankaj Mishra, author of Butter Chicken inLudhiana Reminiscentof Jhumpa Lahiris Interpreterof Maladies and the work of Michael Cunningham, Rahul Mehtas debut shortstory collection is an emotionally arresting exploration of the lives ofIndian-American gay men and their families. Manil Suri, the New YorkTimes bestselling author of The Death of Vishnu and The Age ofShiva calls Quarantine an insightful andcompellingly readable collection of stories in which Rahul Mehta masterfullyexplores the emotions, the conflicts, the complex accommodations of being gayand Indian American."

😷Books. TV if I‘m really tired.
😷Coffee in the morning, tea in afternoon and evening.
😷Chocolate. But we all know it‘s best to alternate back and forth. 🍫🍿

ElizaMarie I love love to live in Harry Potter world! How did “You“ surprise you? 4y
AsYouWish @ElizaMarie I was surprised how much I liked it first of all, because of them premise of it. It also surprised me how much I didn‘t fully hate Joe and in some ways hated Beck more. It was a book that messed with my head, in a good way. 4y
ElizaMarie @AsYouWish I get what you were saying. I really didn't like Beck. Or her friends! Ugh... Joe had his moments. I didn't like like him (haha not asking him to prom or anything) but I liked his character development more 4y
AsYouWish @ElizaMarie Exactly!! I mean if I met Joe in real life I would probably feel differently, but knowing his inner thoughts and why he was doing everything made me have a soft spot for him. I mean don‘t get me wrong I don‘t like anything he did, but I kind of got it in a weird way. And I am not really sure why I disliked Beck so much, because I should have felt more sympathy for her, but I was just over her after a while. 4y
