Review of 'AJAYA' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
An admirable retcon of the Mahabharata. Reframed as a battle between conservative forces and liberal ideas, where the Pandavas are pliant pawns for a ruling class that does not want social equality.
I would have enjoyed this book much more had the writing style not been of a ChatGPT bent.

It's a wonder that this book is so under-mentioned and neglected in the Alan Moore canon. It's a tour de force in terms of achievement. To take well-known characters in literature and reinterpret and recontextualize them purely as sexual beings, and doing it without demeaning or diminishing their essence, is – to use an oft-misused word – genius.
Fact and fiction - only madmen and magistrates cannot distinguish between them.
