In the dazzling prose that has become her trademark, Mehta skewers the entire Spectrum of seekers: The Beatles, homeless students, Hollywood rich kids in detox, British guilt-trippers, and more. In doing so, she also reveals the devastating byproducts that the Westerners brought to the villages of rural lndia -- high anxiety and drug addiction among them.

Brilliantly irreverent, Karma Cola displays Gita Mehta's gift for weaving old and new, common and bizarre, history and current events into a seamless and colorful narrative that is at once witty, shocking, and poignant.]]> 74201 3.75 714 98 1979 1627615 0449905667 9780449905661 15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186071289m/1627615.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1186071289s/1627615.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1627615.Raj_A_Novel 3.60 82 74201 3.75 714 98 1989 281001 0385491697 9780385491693 15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223676233m/281001.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1223676233s/281001.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/281001.Snakes_and_Ladders 3.50 88
As she has proved in three previous books--her wry take on the marketing of the mystic East in Karma Cola; the rich historical saga of Raj; and the beguiling tales of A River Sutra--there is no better guide to India's multihued mosaic than Gita Mehta. She knows India in all its rich detail--its folkways and history, its culture and politics, its ancient traditions and current concerns. In Snakes and Ladders, she gives a loving but unflinching assessment of India today, in an account that is entertaining, informative, and wholly personal.]]> 74201 3.75 714 98 1997 281000 0865651698 9780865651692 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173384500m/281000.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173384500s/281000.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/281000.Eternal_Ganesha 4.00 2
