What madness drew Deven out of the safety of his little world-and into the greatest disaster of his life? Deven is a lecturer at a small college in Northern India. When a friend asks Deven to interview the greatest living poet in Delhi, Deven realizes his mistake too late. But somewhere between the poet's grim reality and Deven's boyish expectations, Deven discovers a new kind of dignity.
