Looking Through Glass is a powerful and hugely entertaining novel set in the troubled forties - the era of India's partition and independence. Often hilariously funny, and shot through with an acute vision of history, this is a passionate and exhilarating novel, a landmark debut by a novelist of great power and originality. Suddenly transported back to India in 1942, where he journeys through Muslim neighborhoods, Hindu wrestling academies, and splendid colonial enclaves, an ambitious young photographer meets a change-mongering nationalist, a pioneering pornographer, and his own grandmother.

Aperture 146 On Location III Winter 1997 The work presented in Aperture's third "On Location" issues reveals that we live in a constant state of transformation, that the naming of things does not make them any more tangible, that the "decisive moment" is over before it begins, and that the "fixative" nature of photography makes it marvelously complicit in its paradoxical relationship with the world.
