A surgeon must bring a dead family back to life in this fabulist debut novel set in rural India, called otherworldly and a haunting contemplation of life, death, the liminal space in between, and the dogged search for resurrection (Kirkus Reviews, starred).Fleeing scandal in the city, a surgeon accepts a job at a village clinic. He buys antibiotics out of pocket, squashes roaches, and chafes at the interventions of the corrupt officer who oversees his work.But his outlook on life changes one night when a teacher, his pregnant wife, and their young son appear. Killed in a violent robbery, they tell the surgeon that they have been offered a second chance at living if the surgeon can mend their wounds before sunrise.So begins a night of quiet work, as if the crickets had been bribed, during which the surgeon realizes his future is tied more closely to that of the dead family than he could have imagined. By dawn, he and his assistant have gained knowledge no mortal should have.In this inventive novel charged with philosophical gravity and sly humor, Vikram Paralkar takes on the practice of medicine in a time when the right to health care is frequently challenged. Engaging earthly injustice and imaginaries of the afterlife, he asks how we might navigate corrupt institutions to find a moral center. Encompassing social criticism and magically unreal drama, Night Theater is a first novel as satisfying for its existential inquiry as for its enthralling story of a skeptical physician who arrives at a greater understanding of lifes miracles.

Night Theater is such an engrossing novel! The storyline pulls you in immediately, and I found myself turning pages late into the night. The characters are well-developed and relatable, making the whole experience so enjoyable. I bought it for my book club, and everyone loved it!

Interesting Concept but Lacked Depth
I was excited to read Night Theater as it had a unique premise. While the story had some interesting moments, I felt it fell short in character development. It seemed rushed at times, which was disappointing. Still, it's a decent read if you're looking for something light.

Did Not Meet My Expectations
Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy Night Theater as much as I hoped. The plot was confusing, and I didn't connect with any of the characters. I also noticed some editing issues that pulled me out of the story. It's not the worst book, but I wouldn't recommend it to friends.
