Karan Mahajan’s newest novel, The Association of Small Bombs, is a tale of three schoolboys whose lives are destroyed when a bomb detonates in the Delhi marketplace, one of the many “small” bombs that go off seemingly unheralded across the world. This one, like so many others, instantly claims the lives of two of the boys. The third boy Mansoor survives, bearing the physical and psychological effects of the explosion. Years later, Mansoor’s life becomes entangled with a fearless young activist whose allegiances and beliefs are more malleable than Mansoor could imagine.Woven between the stories of victims and perpetrators, Karan Mahajan writes brilliantly about the lasting effects of terrorism.
