8 pm- An apolitical love story by Fazle Karim

 


8 pm An Apolitical Love Story is a political satire narrated in accordance with Rahul’s ordeal. The book briefly conveys all the major political developments happening in Indian political and social establishment, the policies and events that have made news and left an impact on citizens directly or indirectly. Rahul’s life tragedies and incidents are largely based around government policies. At majority of instances these subtle nuances is utterly humorous while a few are repetitive. Fazle Karim blends fact fiction and humor to create a humorous read.

8 pm is an odd love story, odd in the sense of its narration and its final outcome. The book is about Rahul’s insecurities in life. It is about how Rahul is beaten in love twice and that to by the same person- irony but true. The betrayal he faced in love and then a failed marriage made him insecure and less reliant on people even if they were true and genuine. This book has some great moments from college life and first kiss and heartbreak. Rahul’s character is beautifully portrayed his arrogance and his attributes all seems genuine. 8 pm is an entertaining read and the side characters leave a remarkable impact on the story. The story lacked closure for me and there a few unanswered questions, guess writer wants us to assume the fate of other characters. I would have love to read more of Rasna …..
