A master of the travel narrative gives us three intertwined novellas of Westerners transformed by their sojourns in India.This startling and satisfying book captures the tumult, ambition, hardship, and serenity that mark todays India. Paul Therouxs characters risk venturing far beyond the subcontinents wellworn paths to discover woe or truth or peace. A middleaged couple on vacation veers heedlessly from idyll to chaos. A buttonedup Boston lawyer finds succour in Mumbais reeking slums. And a young woman befriends an elephant in Bangalore.In these pages, we also meet Indian characters as singular as they are indicative of the countrys subtle ironies: an executive who yearns to become a holy beggar, an earnest young striver whose personality is rewired by acquiring an American accent, a miracleworking guru, and more.As ever, Therouxs portraits of people and places explode stereotypes to exhilarating effect. The Elephanta Suite urges us toward a fresh, compelling, and often inspiring notion of what India is, and what it can do to those who try to lose or find themselves there.From the Hardcover edition.
