MISHRA, PANKAJ AN END TO SUFFERING : THE BUDDHA IN THE WORLD
Picador 2005 0-330-39279-4 / 9780330392792 Paperback Fine
A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: An accomplished history of the Buddha, "An End to Suffering" is also a deeply personal story - the story of Pankaj Mishra's search for meaning, for truth and peace in the modern world and, specifically, in post-colonial, independent India. As he describes his travels to unearth the origins of the Buddha, Mishra offers glimpses into his own quest for enlightenment, from childhood to September 11, from family background to friends met and made, from lessons learned to achievements as a writer. Through this, Mishra reveals the parallels between his time and the Buddha's, between their respective journeys - and that of their country - in search of progress and reconciliation.

Mishra, Pankaj The Romantics: A Novel
Anchor 2001 0-385-72080-7 / 9780385720809 Paperback Very Good
In Pankaj Mishra's debut novel, East not only meets West, the two forcibly collide, causing all manner of bruises and contusions. The hero and narrat or of The Romantics, a young Brahmin student, has come to the Hindu holy ci ty of Benares to study at the university. Samar's shelves are laden with to mes by Schopenhauer and Turgenev; his dreams center around passing the rigo rous exam that will admit him into an Indian Civil Service originally creat ed and shaped by the British Raj. His next-door neighbor in the cheap apart ment he rents from an opium-addicted musician is British, and it is through her that Samar first experiences Western thought and culture outside the c overs of a philosophy book. Diana West is well connected in the expatriate community, and soon she has introduced her naive protégé to other foreigner s in search of something that eluded them at home.
