Recenzii

An extraordinary debut... everything in Saraswati works beautifully. Johal has written a major novel, and at his very first attempt
Hugely ambitious, intense and dizzying ... Johal's expansive vision and propulsive story-telling mark him as a talent
An ambitious, stylishly delivered novel ... reminiscent of Salman Rushdie and resembling the energy and range of David Mitchell's Ghostwritten and Zadie Smith's White Teeth
An epic novel that deserves to be widely read
An excellent novel
A surging, roaring deluge of a novel, which ebbs and flows with a flood of wonderfully overlapping stories. I absolutely loved it
Thrilling ... an intricately patterned portrait of the Punjabi diaspora
One of the most exciting voices in British fiction
A dizzyingly transcontinental ecological epic ... Saraswati most certainly delivers, darting thrillerishly around the world to fold chewy themes of empire, populism and global warming into a cross-generational epic centred on seven strangers
Beautifully written. A fascinating, accomplished debut
A bold, intriguing tapestry of near-future tales: part absurdist political satire, part folkloric meditation, part ecological parable, this novel pulses with a frenetic energy that brings together a cast of beguiling characters
Saraswati is an extraordinary novel: gripping, funny, epic, elegant, and full of preternatural wisdom. Johal's greatest strength is his ability to show the world as inexhaustibly fascinating, a vast and wondrous meshwork of interlocking stories. Saraswati is a major achievement, and Johal a huge talent. This should be one of the biggest novels of the year
Immersive, erudite, intimate and epic, a weaving of lives and stories, old and new, into something vast and very special. Saraswati sounds a note of hope, and a warning for our future
Capacious and brilliant. It has all the sweeping ambition of a great epic with the intimate genius of a master short story writer
A polyphonic novel about contemporary India and the intersection of far-right politics and religion, all told through a rotating cast of characters, a magic river and marriage that reverberates through generations. It's a sumptuous, sweeping read
Johal has tremendous power as a writer, crafting some fiercely beautiful, often visionary chapters
A fast-moving action novel that sweeps through many times, people, and places - it's full of life. I loved the torrent of stories, and Johal's sharp, insightful sense of humour
Saraswati is a big and ambitious novel in which Johal connects history, global politics, the consequences of empire, world poverty and the climate crisis... He [Johal] has the right to rage about the state of the world his generation are inheriting and he expresses it with real passion
An ambitious panoramic portrait
An ambitious novel about climate, politics, and migration that is the perfect read for anyone who loves a meaty novel with interweaving narratives
Admirable ... takes real skill
A rich tapestry, occasionally bewildering, often beguiling ... Grappling with complex ideas, brave in its effort to parse inequality, and principled in its attempts to connect the strands of colonialism, authoritarianism and climate collapse, Saraswati is a welcome shift from the family dramas and autofictions that have tended to dominate literary renderings of India
