This powerful novel is both a mystical journey through self and a magically realistic sojourn within the severity of Indian life. Set in a land called Mayabharat, which floats above the wonder and desperation that is India, this spiraling adventure weaves between characters as diverse as sadhus, sword swallowers, street performers, circus crowds, drug dealers, politicians, patels and police inspectors.

If you are really writing your life story one day and one decision at a time, then you have the power...
