Author Raju Adhikari’s third English novel ‘The Snail Picker’ has been released.
Set against the backdrop of Shanghai, China’s commercial hub, the novel focuses on the internal politics and power struggles within a multinational company, and the potential contributions an ordinary employee can make to both the company and society. It also portrays how China’s physical and economic growth over recent decades has influenced the mindset, lifestyle, and culture of its people.
The story conveys a message about how, in the race for modernity, people often lose sight of their true goals but only to return to the search for the right path later in life. Through the experiences of the main character, it also explores how China’s rapid development has changed the way foreigners view the country and its people.
