The "hole" in the chest of Saleem's "grandfather," Doctor Aadam Aziz, is mentioned several times in Book 1. In Book 2, it is mentioned again on p. 157:
"...sometimes, through a trick of the light, Amina thought she saw, in the center of her father's body, a dark shadow like a hole."
What do you think this hole symbolizes?
In relation (from Spark Notes study questions), what role does religious imagery play in this book?
Quote of the Day:
"...when I saw your picture, you had become so transparent
I could see the writing from the other side coming right through your face!" (p. 157)
