The Impressionist
 
Kunzru's first novel is a surprising comic saga based around the life of the mixed-race Pran Nath, half Indian, half English. Pran's fate spins on his racial ambiguity, as he presents himself as Indian or English depending upon the situation and where his adventures lead him - from colonial India to England to Africa. With a lively cast of preposterous supporting characters, The Impressionist is an impressive adventure which successfully explores British-Indian relationships in the run-up to Indian Independence. 'Enjoyable and wittily inventive, it intelligently satirises the beliefs that shored up - and outlived - empire.' The Guardian

My Revolutions
 
It's the day before Mike Frame's 50th birthday and his quiet provincial life is suddenly falling apart. But perhaps it doesn't matter, because it's not his life in the first place. He has a past that his partner Miranda and step-daughter Sam know nothing about, lived under another name amidst the turbulence of the revolutionary armed struggle of the 1970s. Now Mike is seeing ghosts - a dead ex-lover and an old friend who wants to reminisce. Miranda, who once spoke about alternative lifestyles with the emphasis on alternative, rather than lifestyles, is reinventing herself as a thrusting 1990s businesswoman. Mike can no longer ignore the contradiction between who he is and who he once was. Which side was he on back then? And which side is he on now? Gripping, moving, provocative and passionate.
