‘Set in Mumbai, Adiga’s story of two cricketing brothers, divided by success and failure, holds up a mirror to the shattered dreams of a nation . . . Finely told, often moving, and intelligent . . . Adiga’s novel takes in class, religion and sexuality . . . Because Adiga is a novelist, and one who has grown in his art since his Booker Prize-winning debut, The White Tiger, he knows how to talk about all these matters through his characters and their compelling stories.’ Kamila Shamsie, Guardian
‘Selection Day is at its heart an engrossing and nuanced coming-of-age-novel, with the focus very much on the younger brother, the “complex one”, Manju . . . Intriguing and subtly developed . . . powerful.’ Sunday Times
‘Gripping. Which brother (if either) will be selected for cricket’s big time? Top-rate fiction from a young master.’ The Times
‘[Adiga] is not merely a confident storyteller but also a thinker, a skeptic, a wily entertainer, a thorn in the side of orthodoxy and cant.’ New York Times
‘Adiga seems boundlessly gifted . . . He has produced a nearly flawless novel, and further proof that he is among our finest contemporary novelists.’ San Francisco Chronicle
‘A bittersweet reflection on the limits of what we can select. Choice – that most enticing Western ideal – does not thrive everywhere equally . . . Adiga’s voice is so exuberant, his plotting so jaunty, that the sadness of this story feels as though it is accumulating just outside our peripheral vision.’ Washington Post
