Beschreibung
The Book of Chocolate Saints follows Francis Newton Xavier and his journey towards salvation - or damnation - or perhaps both. Thayil paints a portrait of an ambiguous soul: a self-destructive figure living a wild existence of excess. Approaching middle-age, Xavier leaves Manhattan following 9/11, and his journey home to India becomes a voyage into his past and shows how the artist's life itself can become the final monument. Longlisted for the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature 2018.
