Just like Adiga's earlier book, The White Tiger, Last Man paints a certain picture of a corrupt India driven by money over character or caring. Mumbai is known as the center of an aggressive sort of India. Bangalore has some of the same feeling. But money and housing overcomes all else. It is a cynical world. And worships in action what it doesn't in feeling. Masterji is admired and held up as a model, and yet, he is the last man. Masterji's reflection on life seem to be a more spiritual Indian perspective, but he also reflects a certain type of self-centered spiritualism.It is a brutal book in many ways, but very interesting. As the picture of a man who wants 'nothing,' and how that affects those around him, it is striking.I recommend it.
When I was looking for a novel to read on the long plane ride to India for my first visit there last month, a friend recommended Last Man in Tower, Arivand Adiga's second novel. It was a fine suggestion: I am a long-time fan of Indian writing, which is one of the reasons I wanted to go to India, and I had enjoyed The White Tiger ' Adiga's first novel, which won the Booker Prize in 2008. As it turned out, I didn't start reading Last Man in Tower until after I arrived in Delhi and set out on my overland trip to Mumbai, where the novel is set. In fact, most of the plot is set in the slums that border Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport., so I felt I could look right down on "the tower" as I flew out of India's largest city en route to Goa at the end of my Mumbai visit.Last Man in Tower is the story of the residents of a 50-year-old apartment building, Tower A of the Vishram Co-operative Housing Society -- a six-story building that has for many years been an island of respectability amid the slums that surround the domestic terminal of Mumbai's airport. Now that the land around the airport is becoming more desirable, businessman Dharman Shah wants to purchase Towers A and B of Vishram Society, tear them down, and build a shiny new structure in the image of those he's seen in Shanghai ÂÂ- a city he admires so much that he is going to name his new complex after it.In addition to his desire to make money and expand his empire, Shah wants to challenge the supremacy of another Mumbai construction magnate, J.J. Chacko of the Ultimex Group, who has just offered a ridiculously high amount (81 lakh [8.1M] rupees) for a single slum property 'apparently just to attract attention. Shah so intent on the role the Vishram project can play in this pissing contest with Chacko that he is willing to risk his life for it, ignoring the advice of his physician who tells him that his lungs are so bad that if he doesn't leave Mumbai, the pollution is going to kill him.Vishram Society Tower A is occupied by about fifteen middle-class families, most of them parents with children still at home, working in such fields as hardware, finance, real-estate and social work. They come from a range of religious and cultural backgrounds: their ability to live in relative harmony despite their differences is a quality I learned even during my short visit to be one of the many admirable characteristics of the Indian people.complete review is at marywwaltersbookreviews at wordpress dot com
I am intrigued by books set in modern India and the exploration of the juxtaposition of an ancient culture colliding with modern civilization. For example, I found "India Calling" by Anand Giridharadas fascinating and greatly enjoy the novels by Tarquin Hall. With that background in mind, this book did not disappoint, but it came at the issue in an intimate way that moved beyond India and explored the depths of friendship, greed, and guilt; transcending culture. The "tower" is occupied by a number of residents who, like a family, have allegiances, gripes, and a long shared history. This history is tested when a real estate developer bids on their home. All of the residents must agree to the deal and when one man doesn't, his neighbors turn--some more rapidly than others. As he holds out longer and longer (and loses more friends in the process), the reader is left wondering how much of his position is based on principle and how much is sheer stubbornness. You are also left aghast at what will be done to him in an attempt to change his mind, and the foreseen and unforeseen consequences of those actions. As reflected in the title of this review, these behaviors are dispiriting rather than uplifting. It's a brave stance for the author to take--we often expect happy endings for everyone.
Gentrification is present world wide, both its positive and negative aspects. Both are examined in this transcendent second novel by Booker winner Aravid Adiga, The inhabitants of Vishram Society (colloquialism for apartment house) encompass a wide range of personalities and needs, but when they are offered generous amounts of rupees to vacate in order to make way for luxury condos, they all display the best and worst of their varying natures. Masterji, the only holdout, is cajoled, bribed, made a mockery of and boycotted by his neighbors. Each character is sharp and clear, and the wealth of experience both exotic and familiar. Novels set in apartment houses usually have much to draw from, and Adiga makes the most of his characters and his setting. The Maximum City of Mumbai is presented in all its glory, squalor and beauty. Highly recommended.
When I finished, I thought, "This is a "Lord of the Flies" with grown-ups." Adiga's reading of human nature is certainly mine; the characters' personalities and changes were poignant and realistic. It was also a book that was markedly place-oriented with rich descriptions of Mumbai so clear and specific one could almost smell them. I found it a masterful work, completely engrossing.
I was moved to post on Facebook when I finished this novel. That's happened no more than three times in my entire, early-adopter Facebook life. The characters were significantly different from people I know, yet so relatable. The reader becomes part of Adiga's "society" (basically, neighbors in a condominium) to such an extent that even the most abhorrent acts are understood. If you enjoy being immersed in a book's world, don't miss this one.
