'Delightfully witty . . . Luminously intelligent . . . Odysseus Abroad has
placed itself, with erudition and playfulness, on the map of modernism.'
Guardian 1985: twenty-two year old Ananda is a student adrift in Thatcher's
Britain, homesick and isolated. His eccentric uncle, Radhesh, is a magnificent
failure and an eccentric virgin who has lived in genteel impoverishment in
Hampstead for nearly three decades. Over the course of one day, Odysseus Abroad
follows the two isolated men on one of their weekly forays, gradually revealing
the background to the two men's lives with deft precision and humour as they
traverse London together, circling around their respective pasts and futures,
and finding in one another an unspoken solace.
