Recenzii
"A thriller impeccably paced yet haunted with the poetry of regret and strangeness, portraying a self fracturing under the weight of a world―or worlds―that rewards selfishness."
"Singh’s depiction of two alternate versions of the city is vividly imagined, as is a late-in-the-book exploration of the nature of the magical mirrors. Ultimately, though, this is a character study of a deeply flawed and infuriating man who has lost sight of why he wanted to be an actor in the first place, having handed most of his craft over to AI while he enjoys the shallow excess of celebrity life. Part magic realist fantasy and part critique of the movie industry, Slow Burn is a unique and memorable fable."
"The book is intelligent, well written and thought-provoking"
"Tender yet unsettling, this is a story about hunger―artistic, emotional, existential―and the quiet cost of chasing applause in a restless city."
"At once deeply human and fantastical. Singh explores the nature of reality and identity beautifully in this layered and intricate novel."
"Restless, often funny, but always very human, Slow Burn fuses itself into Mumbai’s heart and soul. Rishi Tripathi is one of the most memorable protagonists in recent Indian fiction―talented but barbed with insecurity and a stubborn refusal to stop dreaming. This is Amal Singh at his finest and most poignant, capturing the city’s machinery of ambition and desires with sharp prose and wonderful observation. In an ocean of contemporary Mumbai novels, this stands tall alongside the best."
"It’s a book well worth savoring."
"A delightful, Carrolian voyage through Bollywood Bombay by a major voice in Indian SFF."
"I enjoyed this immensely! Amal Singh captures a particular flavour of wanting that’s unique to Mumbai - and he does so with an acerbic eye that lifts its humour and pathos. A twisting (but inevitable) and surreal (but real) story of what it means to be a villain or a hero when reality won’t play by the rules."
On The Garden of Delights
"From its opening words, The Garden of Delights weaves a spell with its exquisite prose and intricate world building. Amal Singh has created a lush new society featuring characters both human and godlike, who leap off the page and into your heart. With themes of anti-colonization, betrayal, and forgiveness, this captivating debut should cement Singh as a bold new voice in fantasy."
"The Garden of Delights is a sensory masterpiece. It is written with both verve and tenderness, its characters and the eponymous garden leaping off the pages to bewitch your mind. It is thrilling, imaginative and spellbinding. Amal, who has written some masterful short stories, proves he's equally adept with the novel form too."
