Sniffing Papa

"An evocative cocktail of shikhar, sex and metaphysics. The main strength of this first novel by Inderjit Badhwar is its originality, of both theme and style of writing. The character of the 'Papa' figure is convincing because it is drawn with wit, compassion and detachment. A welcome addition to the growing body of Indian contributions to English liteature." -Khushwant Singh
