For readers of Mohsin Hamid, Dave Eggers, Arundhati Roy, and Teju Cole, The Association of Small Bombs is an expansive and deeply humane novel that is at once groundbreaking in its empathy, dazzling in its acuity, and ambitious in scope
When brothers Tushar and Nakul Khurana, two Delhi schoolboys, pick up their family s television set at a repair shop with their friend Mansoor Ahmed one day in 1996, disaster strikes without warning. A bomb one of the many small bombs that go off seemingly unheralded across the world detonates in the Delhi marketplace, instantly claiming the lives of the Khurana boys, to the devastation of their parents. Mansoor survives, bearing the physical and psychological effects of the bomb. After a brief stint at university in America, Mansoor returns to Delhi, where his life becomes entangled with the mysterious and charismatic Ayub, a fearless young activist whose own allegiances and beliefs are more malleable than Mansoor could imagine. Woven among the story of the Khuranas and the Ahmeds is the gripping tale of Shockie, a Kashmiri bomb maker who has forsaken his own life for the independence of his homeland.
Karan Mahajan writes brilliantly about the effects of terrorism on victims and perpetrators, proving himself to be one of the most provocative and dynamic novelists of his generation.

印度人名挑战难度系数真的很大。。。。
评分FM 对于第二次爆炸袭击着实难以理解，如果“美其名曰”，爆炸之后人性的扭曲可以成立的话。diss甘地的非暴力，而选择通过新的爆炸的方式，来引起世人的注意——这跟舆论对极端穆斯林的“偏见”有什么差异？但小说至少从几个维度展示了什么是死：1）死是被遗忘。而人，尤其是从最广泛意义的同胞群体的角度而言，是最健忘的。你想想就连vaccine的问题都仅仅只持续了两天的热度，而让位于metoo（当然，我不是苛责后者，也无资格这样做）和skr。就像《寻梦环游记》所呈现的，最后一个记得你的人死去，你就死了。2）早在德里爆炸案发生的时候，我们的幸存者——主人公就已然死去——虽然他的肉体活着。让人不禁联想到《野蛮大陆》中的描述。不要以为奥斯维辛之后，还有生还者，活着的，不过是另一种方式的死。
评分小炸弹联盟，从受害者到加害者，没有人关注没有人能为自己发声，只有恐怖的沉默和黑暗，最后这个社会吃人，吃掉了所有默默无闻的人。
评分这个国家的未来是掌握在媒体中，但是媒体却是盲目的。
评分活着的，死去的，受害者，施暴者，所有人都沦陷在这个漩涡里，渐渐面目模糊，终于不分彼此。
