A Writing Geek: Michael Wood's 2000 review of Patrick Modiano's The Search Warrant

”Shadowland is not only an important historical novel, documenting the corruption, indifference and impunity that defined the final years of communist rule in West Bengal, it is also a significant anthropological document, rich in detail of the economic, religious, familial, political, and social realities of ordinary life on the periphery of post-colonial Kolkata. It is also an entertaining and well-written story of one man's struggle against the absurdities of modern life.” Janam Mukherjee, PhD Anthropology and History, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
