Description

A "beautifully written, richly textured, and haunting story" (Chaim Potok), BAUMGARTNER'S BOMBAY is Anita Desai's classic novel of the Holocaust era, a story of profound emotional wounds of war and its exiles. The novel follows Hugo Baumgartner as he flees Nazi Germany -- and his Jewish heritage -- for India, only to be imprisoned as a hostile alien and then released to Bombay at war's end. In this tale of a man who, "like a figure in a Greek tragedy . . . seems to elude his destiny" (NEW LEADER), Desai's "capacious intelligence, her unsentimental compassion" (NEW REPUBLIC) reach their full height.

Professional Reviews

"Ms. Desai is a superb observer of the human race, achieving coloratura runs where most writers would have managed only a gasp or a gape... With brio and tenderness, she installs her Hugo among the underground men, the Steppenwolfs, the misfits,... the accidental man, all who have a not quite certain relationship with civilization." "A beautifully written, richly textured, and haunting story." "The achievement of a superior writer."

Notes

As a child, Hugo Baumgartner lost his family to the Nazis. Growing up in India, he is unsure of his identity, and unable to commit himself to either culture.
