Universal Untruth

Nair바카라™s readings of any writer are original and her chapters on translation are philosophically daunting and exemplary. Her account of her own students바카라™ attitudes towards India and the US are discerning. The world of a Kafkaesque officialdom she describes, with its own impenetrable conventions that do not refer to anyone in the "real world", is a tour de force of how governments efface their citizens. The erudition, imagination, profound interest in humanity and the sheer energy of the prose on display makes this book a landmark publication.
