Despite working at the Institute of Theory and Research in Mumbai as the lowly personal assistant to a brilliant but insufferable astronomer, he dreams of more for himself and his family.Ever wily and ambitious, Ayyan weaves two plots: the first to cheer up his weary, soap-opera-addicted wife by creating outrageous fictions around their ten-year-old son; the other to sabotage the married director by using his boss's seeming romance with the institute's first female--and very attractive--researcher. Meanwhile, as the institute's Brahmins wage a vicious war over theories about alien life, Ayyan sees his deceptions intertwining and setting in motion a series of extraordinary events he cannot stop. Unfailingly funny and irreverent, Serious Men is at once a hilarious portrayal of runaway egos and ambitions and a moving portrait of love and its strange workings.One of 2010's \"First Novels to Savor.\" --Sunday Telegraph\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manu Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53094346784992,"sku":"9781848543072","price":65.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/5681\/6608\/files\/7133qgo_gKL._SY522.jpg?v=1781652783","url":"https:\/\/medicalbook.online\/products\/serious-men","provider":"medicalbook.online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
