A Passage North. Anuk Arudpragasam.

A Passage North. Anuk Arudpragasam. 2021.  ISBN 9780593230718. A curious book that hit my inbox. The author is a Tamil who lived in India most of the war of India vs the Tigers.  When he returns home he revisits the war years through the experiences of his family ad a family friend.  He uses descriptive language like DH Laurence – rich and fulsome.  He has a detached roundabout way of writing.  With numerous references to Indian poems on Buddha, you will gain some insights into this and perhaps one South Asian’s philosophical view.
