Shakti's smile
19.99 €
A novel, but without the core around which it is usually spun. A man, but not the one that domestic literature is inhabited by. An India, but not the one we expect. Love and sizzling intimacy, but through them a longing for the other. Complex intellectual optics with a childlike openness. A paradise of metaphors, symphonic writing with an elusive change of registers. Jungles, tigers, elephants, extreme experiences, Buddhist caves, life with hermits, a Sanskrit garden, trance mysteries, an encounter with the king of the forest tribes, a Sufi twist of speech between East and West, but through this romantic exoticism, a path to the source, a shimmering kinship with the world. A world that began and came into being from Shakti's smile. The journey is dramatic and marvelous. An odyssey of writing, floating where words are shunned.
