Selection Day

Selection Day

Aravind Adiga, 2018

Overview

Manjunath Kumar is fourteen and a gifted cricketer, though not quite as skilled as his older brother, Radha. He navigates a complex world shaped by his domineering, cricket-obsessed father, his talented sibling, and his fascination with scientific facts and the world of CSI. While others seem to know who Manju should be, he himself is uncertain. His world begins to shift when he encounters Radha's rival, a boy as confident and privileged as Manju is not, forcing him to confront decisions that challenge his identity and understanding of the world.
