Applied mathematics, sexuality and food recipes are abound in Metro Weekly’s review of Manil Suri’s third published novel, The City of Devi. Suri’s latest novel visits a futuristic, war-torn Mumbai as it braces for an impending apocalypse, and amid the chaotic setting lies the stories of three characters. New to Suri’s so-called “trilogy,” however, is the introduction of a gay theme.
”I think so many of these issues, especially we as gay people would face, it’s necessary to work through them, and writing is a great way of doing it,” says Suri. “It also helps you realize which parts of your story might be promising as fiction.”
