This is story of AK, an Indian academic working in America. It is a love story, or rather the story of what a man can fall in love with: in AK's case, literature, radical politics, and, women. This is a reinvention of what used to be called the 'campus novel' and an exploration of postcolonial identity. An explosive, genre-defying reinvention of the 'immigrant' novel from Amitava Kumar.
