A work of fiction that is "vibrant and engrossing...a work that appears not only universal but absolutely cosmic" by Francine Prose for Elle

The odd-job man who lives there, Vishnu, is dying at the beginning of this brilliant debut novel as his neighbours, the Pathaks and the Asranis, fight over who will pay for an ambulance. As the action spirals up through the floors of the building, the tragedies of the tenants' lives unfold: Mr. Jalal's compulsive search for greater meaning; Vinod Taneja's pining for the wife he has lost; the comedic elopement of Kavita Asrani, who considers herself the heroine of a Bollywood movie.
