Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla, reared in Bombay by maverick foes of tradition, educated in Vietnam, married to an Austrian and long a resident of Toronzo, is a 59-year-old without a country, culture or religion to call his own...
The novel may not be 'about' India, but Irving's imagined India, which Daruwalla visits periodically, is a remarkable achievement- a pandemonium of servants and clubmen, dwarf clowns and transvestite whores, missionaries and movie stars.
