- Summary
- "Vast, erotic, irreverant magnum opus on the city of Delhi. The principal narrator of the saga, which extends over six hundred years, is a bawdy, ageing [sic] reprobate who loves Delhi as much as he does the hijda whore Bhagmati--half man, half woman with the sexual inventiveness and energy of both the sexes. Travelling through time, space and history to 'discover' his beloved city, the narrator meets a myriad of people--poets and princes, saints and sultans, temptresses and traitors, emperors and eunuchs--who have participated in (and been witness to) the major historical forces that have shaped and endowed Delhi with its very special mystique."--Page 4 of cover.
