Narrator Sunil Malhotra evokes the pathos of a novel that explores "reverse racism," cyber violence, and cancel culture. Indian-American Raj Bhatt's life is turned upside down when he blurts out the N-word in front of a Black man at his tennis club. To make matters even worse, at the university where he teaches, a group of conservative students accuses him of hating Christians. With his powerful and adaptable voice, Malhotra masterfully portrays a variety of characters, particularly Raj and the colleagues who help him clear up the misunderstandings. Malhotra's use of Indian and Filipino accents adds authenticity, and his pacing is appropriate. Listeners will be enlightened by this audiobook's timely themes. A.C.
