The Company of Women by Khushwant Singh
2.0
Well, the company of women wasn't that enjoyable.
I read this book pushing aside all better reads just to satisfy my morbid curiosity.
Story of Mohan , a recently separated man, with a more than healthy sexual drive who is in a constant quest to prey upon (wrong word, as the women too wee equally guilty here) different women.
Part one is his escapades after separation, and part 2 in the form of his diary regarding his conquests starting at an early age.
On the whole it was insipid. The women involved were psychological replicas (though physically came in all sizes and shapes, which our Mohan hasn't failed to describe with gusto)
This book makes me pity humankind as it seems that all men and most women are basically polygamous and are just waiting for opportunities .
Left a bad taste behind, that slightly nauseating feel that descends upon one who reads late into the night, that too mediocre stuff.
The story had potentials, if his failing marriage would have been stressed upon, and the various escapades kept to a basic minimum.
