I realise this sounds like I don't like the book. I really enjoyed the book! But I'm a bit like, hmmm, you can embody a city that you live and breathe, but can the same effect really be replicated when you aren't from Florence, or Cape Town, or Singapore, or Delhi? It's such a knowingness that makes the whole thing. I mean, maybe NKJ won't try that, it's just that I saw her asking about some Tamil dialogue pieces on Twitter, and cultural bits and bobs, which is why I'm stuck on this.
