Summary
Nine stories that mainly deal with the experiences of ethnically Indian Trinidadian men who have immigrated to Canada. In "Swami Pankaj", a Trinidadian master farmer, who wishes nothing more than to retire to the Himalayas and become a mystic, leads… a strange second life as a Brampton taxi driver. "The House in Lengua Village" concerns a schoolteacher who returns home, only to unexpectedly officiate at his father's funeral. Some strong language and some descriptions of sex. 2002.
