It is 1985. Twenty-two-year-old Ananda has been in London for two years, training at being truly a poet. He's homesick, feels of himself as an outsider, and yet can't help sensing that there's something charming, even poetic, in his isolation. His uncle, Radhesh, a magnificent failure who lives in genteel impoverishment and celibacy, has been in London for almost three decades. Odysseus Abroad comes after them on one of their each week familiar forays about town. The narrative surface has the sensual richness that has graced most of Amit Chaudhuri's work. However the great elegance and depth of the novel reside in Ananda's far-ranging ruminations; in Radhesh's often artfully wielded idiosyncrasies; and in the spiky, needful, sometimes comical, yet eventually loving connection between the two men.
