The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth REVIEW

It's one of the most imaginative novels I've ever read and one of the most astonishing displays of virtuosistic language I have ever witnessed.

Golden Gate is a wonderful novel. It's such a beautiful work of art, built out of words, built out of the humblest possible ingredients, that there is no way whatsoever I can do it justice in the course of any sprawling, rumbling review.
