Days and Nights in Calcutta

"First released in 1987, it remains one of the best travel books about India. Ms. Mukherjee's part of the narrative recounts her return to the city and the way of life she rejected when she left India for the Iowa Writers' Workshop...But Mr. Blaise's half of this volume is the real treasure, the most useful thing you could read in preparing to visit India yourself...He shows us the manners and mores that many Indians themselves take for granted, and in consequence offers the most vivid account I know of the subcontinent's urban life.Blaise, Clark is the author of 'Days and Nights in Calcutta', published 1995 under ISBN 9781886913011 and ISBN 1886913013.
