“Gone Away is the chronicle of a trip the author took across India a year or two ago.  Since his mother-tongue is English, he presents the intriguing paradox of an Indian conditioned to view his own country almost as a foreign tourist.  It is a funny, inconsequential and at times somewhat surrealistic story he has to tell.”
