A good noir novel is more than mere entertainment. Tanuj Solanki's latest certainly fits the bill
MANJHI'S MAYHEM
by Tanuj Solanki
PENGUIN INDIA
₹399; 216 pages
Good Indian noir is an infrequent occurrence, especially in the written medium. Good Indian noir that also has insightful things to say about the systemic injustices of Indian society is rarer still. Tanuj Solanki’s new novel, Manjhi’s Mayhem (2022), featuring a rough-around-the-edges Dalit hero (the promotional literature calls him an ‘anti-hero’, which isn’t really accurate) called Sewaram Manjhi, is a member of this small club.
