Dalrymple's life-long quest to explain the mystery of India's multi-cultural faiths has never been better shown than in this examination of nine traditions of worship.
Following among others, a Buddhist monk, a Jain nun, a Tantric skull feeder, a temple dancer, an epic chanter, and a sacred prostitute and her daughters, Dalrymple brilliantly encounters new definitions of the holy.
Highly recommended.

Description:
By turns hilarious farce and gripping literary thriller, this is the story of the dubious Olympia Press in Paris, and its rogue proprietor Maurice Girodias.

Due to draconian censorship laws in America, his modest pornographic imprint ended up publishing first editions for writers such as Henry Miller, Lawrence Durrell, Anais Nin, J. P. Donleavy, Terry Southern, Vladimir Nabokov and William Burroughs.

The comically ironic aspects of literary reputation and opportunistic publishing have never been more entertaining.

His bleak war experiences, at the hands of the Japanese, leads Searle to invest his creations with a desperation that is funny as well as being sad; even the humour of St. Trinians is based on torture and death.
