The Odd Book of Baby Names by Anees Salim is a witty, unusual novel that plays with family, memory, and the quiet absurdities of everyday life. With his sharp eye for human behavior and a voice full of dry humour, Salim turns a simple-sounding premise into a story that feels both playful and emotionally layered.
Ideal for readers who enjoy literary fiction with a distinctive Indian sensibility, this book offers clever observations, memorable characters, and a narrative that gently moves between comedy and insight. If you like books that are offbeat, thoughtful, and full of personality, this one makes for a rewarding read.
