This superb anthology gives us some of the best fiction, nonfiction, andpoetry 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 AllenGinsberg'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'sunforgettable scene in his novel Creation," "in which his character finally meets the Buddha and is bewildered-all twenty-five selections in India inMind" "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-winningnovelist Pankaj Mishra, "India in Mind" is a marvel of sympathy, sensitivity, and perception, not to mention outstanding writing.
