From Darkness, Light

"Animal's People is not a polemic. If it were, it would have no power as a novel. It is a story about people. The characters are everything and the plot evolves out of their desires, idiosyncrasies and failings. Despite the dark subject matter, it is quite a light-hearted book."

- Indra Sinha on his Booker-longlisted novel, his earlier work, his copywriting career, Indian politicians and, of course, Bhopal.
