Description

This novel brings a western film crew to Hemagiri, a dusty mining town perched on granite hills and surrounded by the jungle of the deep South of Tamil Nadu. They are a colourful bunch -- the cramped English Director, Jonathan Bexley, fleeing a failed marriage, uptight Carol, his feminist assistant, Gino, a macho Italo-Australian, Terry his Irish mate, and Brian, the sensitive, withdrawn New Age asthmatic -- but they find themselves disturbed and challenged by their encounter with the dangerous, mystifying and bizarre beauty of South India. Bexley's crew have come to make a documentary on the renowned Guru Chinnaswami, who claims to remember his past lives and talks of God as the 'Cosmic Magician'. But as they journey with the Guru into a world of strange happenings and mystical revelations, they become more and more entangled in the lives and troubles of the Hemagiri people, their sufferings and their romances. It is a path that brings satisfaction to some but which eventually leads both the Guru and his Western guests to confront the sinister face of modern-day terrorism in the lead-up to the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi.
