I didn't get this book. It was about Mr Biswas' life which was full of anxiety, and despite him being inc edibly irresponsible he had a successful career.
It's very much a keeping up with the Jones's story with some dull details of house maintenance.
I'm sure I would appreciate it differently if I took the time to study it, but as a pastime read it was meh. And has racism - although I hadn't been aware of colonial India in Trinidad before this.
