![]() ![]() Though I’m not a huge fan of literary fiction, this book was fairly good and I enjoyed reading it. ![]() Coinman is a really unique read about a man who is obsessed with jingling coins.Īuthor Pawan Mishra has done a great job writing about a character as bizarre as Coinman and that too with dollops of sarcastic and classy humor blending it brilliantly with the main conflict of the story. Though initially I had a few reservations about reading it, this book turned out to be a really interesting one. I rarely read literary fiction but when I was presented with an opportunity to read Coinman I thought of giving this one a try as the author is a fellow Indian. When tough bully, Hukum, beautiful enchantress, Tulsi, and the office sage, Ratiram, unite the office to conspire against Coinman, they have no inkling of an apocalypse looming inside the office. The laughingstock of the office, he finds no relief at home his wife Imli, an obsessed actress, completely vanishes into each role. ![]() Coinman, a junior level office worker in India, has a number of eccentricities. ![]()

I could imagine no other than that which stood before me. These streets were all streets, these buildings all buildings, these women and men all women and men. I paid a kind of idiot attention to the look and feel of things, leveling an intent inner stare at the prototypic face of the world. I took it all so seriously, so literally.
