************************************
"A novel of exceptional, astonishing strangeness, 'Solo' confirms Rana
Dasgupta as the most unexpected and original Indian writer of his
generation."
- SALMAN RUSHDIE
"What a delight to find a novelist unfazed by the 21st century ... This
is an important work. Already it's my tip for the Man Booker this year."
- NIGEL KRAUTH, "THE AUSTRALIAN"
"'Solo' is ... utterly unforgettable in its humanity."
- KAPKA KASSABOVA, "THE GUARDIAN"
"'Solo' is a nuanced and virtuoso performance."
- STUART KELLY, "SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY"
"'Solo' is beautifully symphonic - elegiac and prophetic, underpinned by
intelligence, compassion and a wonderfully unfettered imagination. It’s
a necessary as well as a timely novel."
- JOANNE HAYDEN, "SUNDAY BUSINESS POST"
"'Solo' emerges from a tangle of failures and disappointments to show
the beauty in an ordinary life that is lived across extraordinary times."
- ELEANOR LIMPRECHT, "SUN HERALD" (AUSTRALIA)
