Micro review: 'Distortion' by Gautam Malkani - Times of India
‘Distortion’ by Gautam Malkani explores how the digital world shapes real life.
We follow a man who has three online personalities, Dillon, Dhilan and Dylan through which he conducts a very complicated life. We see how the internet encourages each of his identities separately and helps shape them. This book beautifully explores how the digital world affects people. Every interaction someone has with technology in the book gives the reader an insight into how technology might be shaping their own lives. It also shows the psyche of a care giver and how having a loved one suffering from cancer can affect you.
Like his previous book ‘Londonstani’, this book is written in a casual conversational narrative, the words flowing as if the protagonist is describing the scene to a friend. It is eloquent and well written and the style is
casual. The insights the book contains are worth the read.

Book Excerpt | Distortion
I have been invited by Random Things Through My Letterbox to take part in the blog tour for Gautam Malkani’s latest book. He has kindly agreed to share an excerpt from Distortion for you to read. I hope you enjoy, I sure did, and can’t wait to read the rest of the book.

My Top Ten Favorite Books
1) The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri - Bengali immigrant family’s transition into America. Raw, honest, melancholic and reminds me the sad truth of having two homes.
2) Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl - Another immigrant story. I cried heaps after reading this book. Everyone should read this book at-least once in their life to understand resilience, hope and empathy.
3) Londonstani by Gautam Malkani - This book is captivating and the writer thoroughly captures the milieu of the subculture in suburban Britain’s asian community. The end is shocking.
4) Graffiti my Soul by Niven Govinden - It’s hilarious to hear how the protagonist describes his mother’s speed date experiences.
5) Animal Farm by George Orwell - A timeless classic, I finished this book in one sitting.
6) Popism by Andy Warhol - The king of Pop art and silk screens, Andy Warhol was a visionary even for his art contemporaries. I read this book while writing my college project. I learnt so much about American Culture too from this book.
7) Stumbling into Infinity by Michael Fischman - This book is the journey of Michael Fischman, a devotee of Sri Sri and the trials, tribulations and ultimate happiness found on the spiritual path.
8) Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone by JK Rowling - A classin book, I still read it once in a while to bring back my faith in magic and childhood innocence.
9) Shame by Salman Rushdie - I am not particularly fond of Rusdie’s writing, but this book is riveting. I read my dad’s counterfeit book because it was banned at that time in India.
10) Great Expectations by Charles Dickens - This classic was recently awarded one of the best coming-of-age books and I totally agree wit it. Read at the age of 16 I related to Pip’s anger, isolation, yearning for love and ambition. Dickens was a magician who elicited so many emotions from a rebellious teenager like me.

Faultline “The Anxiety that informs the current debate about Asian youth seems all consuming. For me, this anxiety found its perfect echo in a fragment of music (featuring a much manipulated soprano voice) that Scanner played my in his studio. At about the same time I was reading Londonstani by Gautam Malkani and while it dealt with a slice of British Asian life in Southall, what I connected to most was the mixture of linguistic codes (texting, slang, Punjabi, etc) which he used to create the voice of his main character.” Shobana Jeyasingh
