<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Vishnu, the odd-job man in a Bombay apartment block, lies dying on the staircase landing. Around him the lives of the apartment dwellers unfold: the warring housewives on the first floor, lovesick teenagers on the second, and the quietly grieving widower on the top floor of the building. In a fevered state Vishnu looks back on his love affair with the seductive Padmini and wonders if he might actually be the god Vishnu, guardian of the entire universe. Blending incisive comedy with Hindu mythology and a dash of Bollywood sparkle, The Death of Vishnu is an intimate and compelling view of an unforgettable world.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[A] literary accomplishment... eloquent, refined and tasteful.--Washington Post Book World<br><br>"A delightful and rich first novel...lyrical."--Wall Street Journal<br><br>"Enchanting...Masterfully created...No telling detail or private vanity escapes the author's comic yet infinitely compassionate scrutiny."--Boston Globe<br><br>"Marvelously life-embracing ...
