Introduced by Jeet Thayli, author of Booker Prize shortlisted novel
Narcopolis.
At the age of 20, Dom Moraes - already a celebrated poet who would go on to be
regarded as one of India's finest writers - returned to his native India after
finishing education in England. After spending time in Delhi, meeting
Jawaharlal Nehru and the young Dalai Lama, he embarked on a meandering journey
through northern India, Nepal and Sikkim at a time of political tension and
the threat of invasion by China.
Brilliant, curious and precocious, seldom without a drink in his hand, he
chanced his way into some extraordinary situations - including staying in a
Nepalese palace with a resident bear and being shot at and chased by Chinese
soldiers. Gone Away details these adventures with a poet's eye for detail, and
the luminosity and humour for which Moraes was known.
