'Delightfully witty . . . Luminously intelligent . . . Odysseus
Abroad has placed itself, with erudition and playfulness, on the
map of modernism.' Guardian 1985: twenty-two year old Ananda is a
student adrift in Thatcher's Britain, homesick and isolated. His
eccentric uncle, Radhesh, is a magnificent failure and an eccentric
virgin who has lived in genteel impoverishment in Hampstead for
nearly three decades. Over the course of one day, Odysseus Abroad
follows the two isolated men on one of their weekly forays,
gradually revealing the background to the two men's lives with deft
precision and humour as they traverse London together, circling
around their respective pasts and futures, and finding in one
another an unspoken solace.
