"Richly imagined [and] impressive" ("New York Times Book
Review"), this critically acclaimed and emotionally charged novel
about the strange and ultimately tragic relationship between an
esteemed British mathematician and an unknown--and
unschooled--mathematical genius is historical fiction at its best:
ambitious, profound, and absorbing.
Based on the remarkable true story of G. H. Hardy and Srinivasa
Ramanujan, and populated with such luminaries such as D. H.
Lawrence, Bertrand Russell, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, "The Indian
Clerk" takes this extraordinary slice of history and transforms it
into an emotional and spellbinding story about the fragility of
human connection and our need to find order in the world. A
literary masterpiece, it appeared on four bestseller lists,
including the "Los Angeles Times," and received dazzling reviews
from every major publication in the country.
