The Calcutta Chromosome

I felt like The Calcutta Chromosome was a challenging novel, and one which I think I ultimately did not fully understand. Despite this, it was fun to read a science fiction novel based in India, and it was probably a good experience to read so far out of my reading comfort zone. I enjoyed reading about Calcutta in 1995 and the characters who lived there. At the same time, I felt like too much of the story was tied up in the transfer of information through dialogue, and I was disappointed by how little closure there was in the end for the many different topics brought up through the course of the novel. I found reading this novel to be both and interesting and a frustrating experience.
