Ever since Herodotus reported that it was home to gold-digging
ants, travelers have been intrigued by India in all its beguiling
complexity. This superb anthology gives us some of the best
fiction, nonfiction, and poetry that has been written about the
world's second most populous nation over the past two centuries.
From Mark Twain's puzzled fascination with Indian castes and
customs, to Allen Ginsberg's awe at the country's spiritual and
natural splendors, or from J. R. Ackerley's delightful
recollections of his visits with an eccentric gay Maharajah, to
Gore Vidal's unforgettable scene in his novel Creation," "in which
his character finally meets the Buddha and is bewildered-all
twenty-five selections in India in Mind""reveal a place that
evokes, in the traveler, reactions ranging from fear and perplexity
to astonishment and wonder. Edited and with an introduction and
chapter notes by the award-winning novelist Pankaj Mishra, "India
in Mind" is a marvel of sympathy, sensitivity, and perception, not
to mention outstanding writing.
