“Wonderful… . Wise, devastating, unpredictable.” —THE BRAND NEW Yorker

For visitors of Mohsin Hamid, Dave Eggers, Arundhati Roy, and Teju Cole, The Association of Little Bombs can be an expansive and deeply humane novel that’s simultaneously groundbreaking in its empathy, dazzling in its acuity, and ambitious in scope

When brothers Tushar and Nakul Khurana, two Delhi schoolboys, grab their family’s tv at a repair center with their friend Mansoor Ahmed 1 day in 1996, disaster strikes unexpectedly… I suggest you venture out and buy that one.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall structure Road Journal

“[Mahajan’s] eagerness to move at the bomb out of every position suggests a voracious method of fiction-making.”� —Fiona Maazel,� THE BRAND NEW York Times Reserve Review

“Brilliant. Post haste. . After a short stint at university in the us, Mansoor returns to Delhi, where his lifestyle turns into entangled with the mystical and charismatic Ayub, a fearless youthful activist whose personal allegiances and beliefs are even more malleable than Mansoor could imagine. Mansoor survives, bearing the physical and mental ramifications of the bomb. A bomb—among the many “little” bombs that set off seemingly unheralded over the globe—detonates in the Delhi market, instantly declaring the lives of the Khurana males, to the devastation of their parents.
�
Karan Mahajan writes brilliantly about the consequences of terrorism on victims and perpetrators, proving himself to end up being probably the most provocative and powerful novelists of his era. Woven among the tale of the Khuranas and the Ahmeds may be the gripping tale of Shockie, a Kashmiri bomb maker who offers forsaken his own existence for the independence of his homeland.
