Arre jhumka gira re Bareily ke bazaar me in jhumka gira re
just wanted to ask, what is wrong with the amish.tripathi books? I'm curious to know
Nothing is "wrong" per se. It's just that they're not exactly my cup of tea. They're kind of tropey and clichéd, for me. I won't deny that the author tries to incorporate creative elements or venture into the unknown territory. It's just that in whatever sphere it is- research or creative elements, characterization, world-building etc. the author doesn't venture too far from the tested path. It often feels like some stereotypical fantasy retelling with the same stock characters with a sprinkle of south Asian culture into them. And I don't really blame the author for that. The genre he's working with is still quite untested as an arena in India, it involves substantial risk. He sure as anything is trying to go for something new while sticking to the safe path but that's kinda off-putting for someone who desires something avant-garde. And it's slightly annoying when they tout the same old thing as a "fresh" perspective, every single time.(And this applies to most mythological retellings, not just Amish's books)
And by this I'm not dissing those that love Amish tripathi's book. I made that ask to papenathys because I wanted something that suited my personal preferences.
