The author's fourth novel. The first appearance of the title in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. The colorful book design is by John Gall, who has developed an enviable reputation for the way he has lifted the graphic-design standards of literary titles. "Amit Chaudhuri has marked out a special territory for himself among Indian writers, as the natural heir to R. K. Narayan. He has as much life in each of his books as many of his contemporaries will capture in a career" (The London Observer). John Updike and other major literary critics regarded R. K. Narayan as the finest English-language writer India produced in the 20th century. To follow in his footsteps, which is Amit Chaudhuri's unstated ambition, is admirable indeed. A brilliant book. A "must-have" title for Amit Chaudhuri collectors. This title is no longer available in hardcover and is now collectible. This copy has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A scarce copy thus. One of the most accomplished living writers in the English language. A flawless copy. . ISBN 0375410937. $20.00
