City of Rains

City of Rainsis an atmospheric page-turner, a wholly original perspective on Indian and Western history. It details the weariness and elation that accompany a man's journey to accomplish greatness within himself, while reaching into the life experiences of others who are extraordinary in their small lives.Dass creates a multi-layered quest through a narrator who boldly accepts and challenges his Indian heritage and is rewarded with truth and love. He learns that no man's knowledge exeeds his experience. With controlled ease, Nirmal Dass breaks free from the clich's of 'compassionate realism' and 'historical narrative sweep' - City of Rains is lush, quiet, artistic and liberating.Nirmal Dass is the author of 'City of Rains', published 2003 under ISBN 9781894345620 and ISBN 1894345622.
