Guardian Bookshop Notes:

The first novel in 11 years from the man described by the "Daily Telegraph" as 'quite possibly the best living writer in Britain.' Set in two of the world's most magical cities, it is a captivating, playful, sensual, ingenious and utterly original novel.

Publisher's description:

Jeff Atman, a journalist, is in Venice to cover the opening of the Venice Art Biennale. He's expecting to see a load of art, and go to a lot of parties. Another city, another assignment: this time on the banks of the Ganges in Varanasi. Amid the crowds, ghats and chaos of India's holiest Hindu city a different kind of transformation lies in wait.
