An Indian Summer von James Cameron
Cameron is / was a very gifted writer / journalist but the journalist shows through too much in this compendium of commentary on his year in india with his indian wife. One wonders who it was, incensed perhaps by yet another snide comment on the gap between a Maharaja and those kissing his feet, tore out pp 129-130!
A mixed blessing, this book. On the one hand, it is a celebration of the life and work of Victor Weisz, the Hungarian immigrant that was one of the most brilliant of David Low's successors to the mantle of "Greatest British Cartoonist." There is a lot of rare material to be found here, not available elsewhere. The sad part is that Weisz killed himself, and there were no more books and collections of his work while he was alive.
If you only read one book about India, make sure it's this one! It's a delight. I'm passionate about the country and have a fair amount of fiction and non-fiction relating to its' people, places and culture. If I was forced to choose just one book from all the books I have on the subject, I think it would be this.
