கன்னடத்தில் கடந்த பத்து பதினைந்து வருடங்களில் வெளிவந்த மகத்துவ மான புனைக்கதை காச்சார் கோச்சர். தற்கால பெங்களூரை எடுத்துக்கொண்டு இவ்வளவு உணர்வுபூர்வமாக, நுணுக்க மாக, மனதைத் தொடும் வகையில் மற்றொரு நாவல் வந்ததில்லை. கிரீஷ் கார்னாட் - கன்னட எழுத்தாளர்'It's true what they say - it's not we who control money, it's the money that controls us. When there's only a little, it behaves meekly; when it grows, it becomes brash and has its way with us.' From a cramped, ant-infested house to a spacious bungalow, a family finds itself making a transition in many ways. The narrator, a sensitive young man, is numbed by the swirl around him. All he can do is flee every day to an old-world cafe, where he seeks solace from an oracular waiter. As members of the family realign their equations and desires, new strands are knotted, others come apart, and conflict brews dangerously in the background. Translated in Tamil by K. Nallathambi, Vivek Shanbag’s Ghachar Ghochar is a suspenseful, playful and ultimately menacing story about the shifting consequences of success.
