'Hullabaloo is delicious: with kindness and humour Desai describes a magical world full of eccentric characters that, at the end of the book, one is sad to leave.' Daily Telegraph
'Charming and deliciously funny. It is very much a novel rooted in Indian culture, but the satirical strands - about entrepreneurialism and the credulous creation of gurus - are, of course, more widely , relevant... A significant contribution to Indian fiction in English.' Observer

'Desai is a lavish, sharp-eyed fabulist whose send-up of small town culture cuts to the heart of human perversity. New Yorker
