The circle of reason

Amitav Ghosh's extraordinary first novel makes a claim on literary turf held by Gabriel García Márquez and Salman Rushdie. In a vivid and magical story, The Circle of Reason traces the misadventures of Alu, a young master weaver in a small Bengali village who is falsely accused of terrorism. Alu flees his home, traveling through Bombay to the Persian Gulf to North Africa with a bird-watching policeman in pursuit.

  • "Een weesjongen uit Bengalen wordt in westerse geest opgevoed en raakt verwijderd van zijn land."
  • "Un premier roman qui a du souffle et réconcilie l'esprit du roman picaresque avec celui du récit moderne, selon B. Génies qui qualifie l'auteur de "Cervantès du continent indien". Le héros est un enfant à la tête couverte de bosses et son rationaliste d'oncle. Leurs aventures le/les mènent sur les chemins de l'Inde, de l'Arabie, de l'Algérie. Selon A. Burgess, il s'agit d'une saga qui embaume la bouse de vache et les épices. Prix Médicis étranger 1990."
