Description

The gods of poetry and death descend on a house in India to vie for the soul of a wounded monkey.

A bargain is struck: the monkey must tell a story, and if he can keep his audience entertained, he shall live.

The result is Red Earth and Pouring Rain, Vikram Chandra's astonishing, vibrant novel.

Interweaving tales of nineteenth-century India with modern America, it stands in the tradition of The Thousand and One Nights, a work of vivid imagination and a celebration of the power of storytelling itself. 'A dazzling first novel written with such originality and intensity as to be not merely drawing on myth but making it.' Sunday Times
