{"product_id":"choice-9781324116912","title":"Choice","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"How ought one to live?\" This is the question that obsesses London-based publisher Ayush, driving him to question every act of consumption. He embarks on a radical experiment in his own life and the lives of those connected to him: his practical economist husband; their twins; and even the authors he edits and publishes. One of those authors, a mysterious M. N. Opie, writes a story about a young academic involved in a car accident that causes her life to veer in an unexpected direction. Another author, an economist, describes how the gift of a cow to an impoverished family on the West Bengal-Bangladesh border sets them on a startling path to tragedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTogether, these connected narratives raise the question: How free are we really to make our own choices? In a scathing, compassionate quarrel with the world, Neel Mukherjee confronts our fundamental assumptions about economics, race, appropriation, and the tangled ethics of contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMukherjee, Neel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eNeel Mukherjee\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of four novels, including \u003cem\u003eThe Lives of Others\u003c\/em\u003e, shortlisted for the Booker Prize.
