Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian and NPRA writer who is gifted not just with extraordinary talent but also with a subtle, original, and probing mind. Amitav GhoshIn one of the singularly imaginative stories from Kanishk Tharoors Swimmer Among the Stars, despondent diplomats entertain themselves by playing table tennis in zero gravityfor after rising seas destroy Manhattan, the United Nations moves to an orbiting space hotel. In other tales, a team of anthropologists treks to a remote village to record a languages last surviving speaker intoning her native tongue; an elephant and his driver cross the ocean to meet the whims of a Moroccan princess; and Genghis Khans marauding army steadily approaches an unnamed citys walls.With exuberant originality and startling vision, Tharoor cuts against the grain of literary convention, drawing equally from ancient history and current events. His worldspanning stories speak to contemporary challenges of environmental collapse and cultural appropriation, but also to the workings of legend and their timeless human truths. Whether refashioning the romances of Alexander the Great or confronting the plight of todays refugees, Tharoor writes with distinctive insight and remarkable assurance. Swimmer Among the Stars announces the arrival of a vital, enchanting talent.
