Abhay, an Indian student home from collage in the USA, shoots the monkey who stole his laundry. Abhay's parents nurse the monkey back to health and are astonished when it starts to tell them of its prior life by typing it out.

Soon, Abhay and the monkey are taking turns telling stories to appease the gods. From an intricate tale of British colonialism in India to a roadtrip across America, the stories are spun out: A prior life of poetry and adventure about foreigners in India, a current life of being in a foreign land.

Wonderful, engrossing novel.
