Produktinformationen zu „Gone with the Vindaloo (ePub)“

'Vikram Nair's novel is a lunatic romp that begins as a colonial adventure and ends with the conquest of the West by Indian fast food. Like a runaway food processor, it rounds up pink colonial sahibs, ambitious wogs, pedigreed bawarchis, gross desi public-school boys, a Russian heroine called Svetlana, godmen and Woodstock, and purées them into a lavatorial epic. If you want to read funny foodie fiction that takes the pleasures of the flesh seriously, this is your novel.' - MUKUL KESAVAN

Kalaam, by caste a spinner of yarns, discovers by delicious accident that he has a God-given flair for concocting the most delectable recipes - a gift that he passes through his son Param to his grandson Pakwaan, the true inheritor of his passion and talent. It is Pakwaan's signature Vindaloo, tempered to mouth-watering perfection, that catches the fancy of everyone who tastes it, including Svetlana, a nirvana-seeking Russo-American who is convinced that this dish (and its very exotic creator) is the answer to the Western world's craving for all things exotic. But what adventures await the starry-eyed Pakwaan in America, the promised land of possibilities?

A rollicking ride through a century's worth of history, Gone with the Vindaloo follows the lives, times and exploits of three generations in a family of cooks. Delightfully subversive and consistently irreverent, this many-layered debut serves up imperialism, consumerism, packaged food - and the very art of storytelling - in a flavour all its own.'

Autoren-Porträt von Vikram Nair

Vikram Nair is a post-graduate in History from Delhi University. He has been self-employed for most of his life and is, in fact, a serial entrepreneur of sorts because not many people agreed to employ him. Presently, he is the promoter and CEO of a chain of Indian restaurants, Khaaja Chowk, which has the tagline 'Full Full Indian'. Vikram and his wife, Shefali (the woman of his dreams for the most part), are thrilled grandparents of Amaan, aged two. This is Vikram's first novel.'
