Description
This hilarious novel is a worthy sequel to the author’s highly acclaimed Goodbye to Elsa. Tristan, an Anglo-Indian professor, meets divorcee Maura Hawkins at a nudist meeting and instantly falls in love with her. He has just been released from a mental asylum to which obviously (he tells us) he had been admitted unfairly.
What follows is a crazy romp through a small Canadian town, involving its local university. Its batting academics, its feminists and young mothers, and not least Maura's year-old daughter, Clare. Tristan sees in Clare a hope for the future, and decides to ‘rescue’ her from her mother and this God forsaken country and take her to India with him. He plans a kidnapping one that is totally absurd and completely believable.
REVIEWS FOR THE BOOK:
"In a way it is a crazy book — not a novel at all, but just a book, a damn good one too". — Henry Miller
"Funny, full of bite." — The Times (London)
