cdeane61 's review for:
A Dead Hand: A Crime in Calcutta
by Paul Theroux
This book kept me interested throughout, the descriptions of infatuation and ultimately obsession, are fascinating. It felt almost as if Theroux was drawing the reader into a trance like state, via descriptions of India, and repetition of feelings towards the woman whom the author (not Theroux, but the author in the novel - as made clear by that author actually having a meeting with Theroux during the tale) is obsessing on.
I have not read many travelogues, but think I may enjoy delving into Theroux's writing in that area. I find him easy to read, and able to evoke time place and mood.
