		hari kunzru has an almost unbearably hip profile, following the success generated by his award-winning debut the impressionist.
		it’s sad that kunzru is morphing into yet another lifestyle accessory for the next wave of hoxbridge loft conversions.
		stylistically, kunzru is an acolyte of martin amis, and the writing is always well-sculpted and smoothed.

	Bookreporter.com - THE IMPRESSIONIST by Hari Kunzru
		Kunzru's novel is set at a historical crossroads, pitting brazen British pride against the burgeoning independence movement in India and serving as a touchstone for the protagonist's complex racial and ethnic identity.
		Kunzru's embroidered prose, urbane wit, and masterful storytelling captivate the reader and exhibit a sophistication not usually found in a debut.
		Kunzru is an immensely talented writer, spinning a story with rich language and exotic locales, and this noteworthy debut secures his place among the UK's best new writers.

	Transmission - Hari Kunzru
		Kunzru has been vocal in his public condemnation of media treatment of asylum seekers, and Transmission is a brilliant dramatisation of those same concerns.
		Kunzru doesn't do emotion very well, and Leela and her story-line are by far the weakest parts of the book.
		Kunzru works his message a bit too hard: the many border-crossings and the convenient cross-cultural conflicts can seem too artificial and forced, the computer virus a tenuous connexion.

	Transmission by Hari Kunzru: Reviews
		Transmission, Hari Kunzru's novel of love and lunacy, immigration and immunity, introduces a daydreaming Indian computer geek whose luxurious fantasies about life in America are shaken when he accepts a California job offer.
		Kunzru proves again that he is a wry and talented voice who provides a nuanced and painfully brutal perception of modern life in a global economy.
		Kunzru is an elegant and thoughtful writer, able to give his 21st-century fable a patina of 19th-century literary polish.

	BookPage Interview March 2002: Hari Kunzru
		Kunzru has questions about the whole idea of what it means to be a person.
		Kunzru's method for exploring such a heady set of ideas is unexpected, to say the least.
		For Kunzru there seems to be something of a personal, poignant edge to his interest in such moments.

	Powell's Books - Transmission by Hari Kunzru
		When Hari Kunzru's eagerly awaited first novel, The Impressionist, was published, it was lauded and celebrated worldwide.
		In that rich, wry debut, Kunzru probed the realms of culture and identity through a savvy boy's attempts to reconcile the roles of his British father and his passionate Indian mother.
		Kunzru's first novel, The Impressionist, was received enthusiastically (it was shortlisted for numerous awards, and won quite a few others, including the Somerset Maugham Award), and this follow-up will not disappoint fans of his stirring social commentary.

	Bookslut \| The Impressionist by Hari Kunzru
		And although it's early in his career, Hari Kunzru makes a good case that he should be added to that list.
		His mother's attempt to hide his biracial heritage turns out to be fruitless, so Pran becomes the un-Pran, passing as a hundred percent white, going through a series of false identities that lead him to both whorehouses and prep schools, trying desperately to concoct a new life at each turn.
		Kunzru seems less enchanted by magical realism than Rushdie, putting him somewhere in the Paul Bowles school of level-headed literary exploration.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Transmission (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Transmission is Hari Kunzru's second novel and, in a similar vein to Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, the title is instructive; it's figuratively and literally, the book's pulsing leitmotif.
		As the novel progresses, Kunzru becomes increasingly interested in Swift's private and business life to the extent that this plotline is arguably elevated to central stage on equal terms with that involving Arjun.
		Kunzru's distaste for American excess provides much of the momentum for the story, but his targets are obvious ones, and consequently one's interest dissipates.

	The Impressionist by Hari Kunzru \| PopMatters Book Review
		In one of his interviews, Hari Kunzru said that he is bored with all his reviews starting off with the whopping advance he received for his debut novel, The Impressionist and whether the book is worth all the hype it got.
		Kunzru is trendy and hybrid himself (father Indian-Kashmiri, mother English) considering the firm grip that Indian writers have over the literary market.
		Kunzru is more comfortable in the English parts than the Indian ones in that the English character are better fleshed out than the flat one-dimensional Indian characters.

	Transmission by Hari Kunzru - review
		Kunzru satirizes all aspects of American culture as Arjun makes his way in America.
		The three plot lines come together in a clever conclusion which resembles one of the Bollywood films that Arjun so enjoys, and allows Kunzru to satirize the numerous conspiracy theories to which we are prone.

	Salon.com Books \| "The Impressionist" by Hari Kunzru
		With "The Impressionist," British writer Hari Kunzru errs on the side of storytelling, which probably explains why this, his first novel, commanded a record advance in England last year.
		The weather in London leads him to understand "for the first time the English word 'cozy', the need their climate instills in them to pad their blue-veined bodies with layers of horsehair and mahogany, aspidistras and antimacassars, history, tradition and share certificates.
		Being British, he decides, is primarily a matter of insulation." While the Indian sections of "The Impressionist" are more or less caricatured, Kunzru (who grew up in Britain) has nailed the reflexive provinciality and entitlement of the English to the wall.

		Using methods of sympathetic imagination they crafted pieces inspired by the objects that were then collected in this illustrated volume as a companion to the catalog prepared for an exhibition in the British Museum.
		So we have "Milk" by Peter Blegvad describing an exhibition that never took place and "The Collected" by Hari Kunzru in which the narrator relates in technical detail how his head was shrunken by the Shuar Indians.
		Kunzru also writes from the point of view of a skull used to illustrate phrenological concepts, a skull disparaging of its fellow specimens: "The Oriental monk they made into a rather tasteless cup.

	HoustonChronicle.com - 'Transmission' by Hari Kunzru
		Kunzru himself is an ironic "transmittor" because an author can only put forth a book; he cannot control the multiplicity of interpretations of it.
		Kunzru belongs to a species of new writers like David Foster Wallace whose clever sentences flow madcap through the sluices.
		The London-based Kunzru resolves everyone's story in the last chapter, like a schoolboy told to tidy up and be quick about it.

		An exuberant novel of love and lunacy, immigration and immunity, from England's dazzling new talent who was hailed as "a modern-day Kipling" for his award-winning debut novel.
		Lonely and naïve, Arjun bides his time as an assistant virus tester, pining for a free-loving looker named Christine and building digital creatures in a feeble attempt to enhance his job security.
