Agastya Sen, or August, is thrust into a challenging government job in the sweltering town of Madna after growing up among India's elite. Surrounded by inept colleagues and eccentric locals, he grapples with boredom and the absurdities of bureaucratic life. The novel blends humor and satire, drawing comparisons to classics like "A Confederacy of Dunces" and "The Catcher in the Rye," while exploring themes of self-discovery and the struggle to find meaning in an absurd world.
