Shuttled from one residence to another after the drowning death of his father, for which he is inadvertently responsible, Mr. Biswas yearns for a place he can call home. But when he marries into the domineering Tulsi family on whom he indignantly becomes dependent, Mr. Biswas embarks on an arduous-and endless-struggle to weaken their hold over him and purchase a house of his own.A heartrending, dark yet comedic novel, A House for Mr. Biswas masterfully evokes a mans quest for autonomy against an emblematic post-colonial canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536433447200,"sku":"NEW0375707166","price":12.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81ItCmpdXrL.jpg?v=1777415297","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-house-for-mr-biswas-0375707166","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
