my rating review
Glad that I read it for its historical and biographical significance. So wordy and loose! Maybe a different translation would improve it.

Gentle satire, beautifully written, of a young man (a pot-smoking slacker) adapting to the realities of "grown-up life" in his first year of employmen
Gentle satire, beautifully written, of a young man (a pot-smoking slacker) adapting to the realities of "grown-up life" in his first year of employment in the Indian Administrative Service. Much to his dismay, he is sent from cosmopolitan Delhi to work in a small, provincial, "middle-of-nowhere" town in traditional rural India. Set in the 1980s, but really quite timeless. Partly reminiscent of Chekhov short stories.

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have sex with E.M. Forster? If so, then this is the book for you! "Arctic Summer" is admittedly a competent and occasionally compelling novel about the author of "A Passage to India" during the twelve years of his life that he worked on the book. It was his last and undoubtedly best novel. I do recommend "A Passage to India" whole-heartedly. As a novel about the writing of a novel, "Arctic Summer" is pretty okay. It's not helped by the prosaic nature of Forster's life. Yes, he did have a significant friendship during these years with an Indian intellectual and physical and intermittently romantic relationship with an Egyptian tram conductor who he met in Alexandria. The novel also "covers" a friendship with the great Greek poet Cavafy that Forster had. I just don't think that Galgut goes any deeper or more profound than Forster's excellent biographer P.N. Furbank in helping to illuminate the sources of Forster's creativity.

Fascinating look at notorious nineteenth century episode wherein Great Britain invaded China in order to protect the interests of the opium drug cartel, and in the process inadvertently picked up for the British Empire what was then a neglected and insignificant island and what is now the global megacity of Hong Kong. "You can't make this stuff up."
