A true story of an Indian boy with an American Dream that results in his meeting powerful writers, editors, and Nobel Prizewinners: from Brodsky to John Updike and John Irving. It is also a book full of regrets and self-examination, providing a catalogue of mistakes writers might avoid (such as making a god of freedom of expression, complimenting an editor's beauty, or sending angry faxes to agents). It is a literary thriller leading to some Dark or at least sobering truths about the world of publishing…and life itself
