A National Book Award Finalist and named one of the 10 best books of 2016 by the New York Times Book Review, The Society of Little Bombs explores the rippling effects of an act of terrorism over time.

In Delhi, when two school-age brothers, Tushar and Naqul Khurana, go with their friend Mansoor Ahmad to pick up their television set for repair, disaster strikes. A bomb, one of those "little" bombs that go off all over the world, destroys the Delhi market and the two brothers are killed on the spot. Mansoor survives, but he will carry the physical and psychological burden of the bomb for the rest of his life, as will his family and the Khuranas... Soon he crosses paths with the mysterious and charismatic Eyüp and gradually discovers how this intrepid young activist is prone to change his beliefs and commitment to his cause. Then the story of the Khuranas and the Ahmadis is intertwined with the gripping tale of Shoki, a Kashmiri bomber, who puts his life on the line for the independence of his homeland.

Named one of America's Best Young Novelists by Granta, Karan Mahajan is one of the most provocative and dynamic novelists of his generation as he brilliantly depicts the impact of terrorism on victims and perpetrators alike.
