Forget the fireworks in New York, London and Dubai. The most dazzling explosions to herald 2023 come from Deepti Kapoor’s novel Age of Vice.
A luxe thriller...that rides the line between commercial and literary fiction so adroitly that it will almost certainly move a lot of units, as I’ve heard publishers say about their best sellers.
An impressively ambitious literary thriller.
It’s a riveting spectacle, but the balance between Kapoor’s two imperatives — gangster epic and social novel — feels off-kilter.
Age of Vice is a novel that seems always to be expanding. Its mobility and dramatic panache are tireless.
The ambitious first installment in a trilogy that weaves the sweeping pathos and entangled fealties of a mafia family saga with performative violence and operatic debauchery, set in a landscape that evokes the stark, earthy cinematic style of recent crime drama hits.
Kapoor’s frenetic and colorful novel highlights the new global pecking order, in which the rich always win.
Riveting.
Searing.
Fast-paced.
