Extractions: Back to audio clips Vikram Seth was born in Calcutta, the son of a shoe company executive and a judge, and educated in India, Oxford University and Stanford University in California. He later studied at Nanking University in China and used his subsequent experiences during a hitchhiking trip from China through Nepal to India to write an award-winning travelogue, From Heaven Lake (1983). Seth's first novel, The Golden Gate (1986), amazed critics with its extraordinary form: it is composed entirely in metred, rhyming 14-line stanzas apparently inspired by a 19th-century translation of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin. Within this difficult structure, Seth developed, to remarkably readable effect, a satirical romance describing the lives and preoccupations of a group of young professionals in San Francisco. Seth's second novel, A Suitable Boy (1993), was even more impressive, at least in terms of length. One critic has described it as "three and a half pounds of perfection," while others have compared it to Tolstoy, Balzac, George Eliot and Charles Dickens. Not only its length but its compelling narrative force, strong characterisation and ingeniously interrelated plotting give weight to these judgments. The book describes the efforts of Rupa Mehra, a matriarchal Indian mother, to find a suitable match for her daughter, Lata.

Extractions: Eine Busfahrt lässt Michaels Vergangenheit ganz plötzlich wieder schmerzhaft auferstehen. Mitten in London, als sein Bus an einer Ampel hält, sieht er im Bus nebenan eine Frau sitzen, bei der es sich mit Sicherheit um Julia handelt. Doch als er es endlich geschafft hat, den Bus zu wechseln, ist sie schon nicht mehr da. Julia. Das ist die große Liebe in Michaels Leben, die er damals in Wien nicht mehr ertragen hatte. Vor der er genauso geflohen war wie vor seinem Professor, der aus ihm unbedingt einen Sologeiger machen wollte, der seinen Wunsch, lieber die zweite Geige in einem Quartett zu spielen, nicht akzeptieren konnte. Danach hatte er jahrelang verzweifelt versucht, sie wiederzufinden, sie zu kontaktieren - vergeblich. Ihre Eltern hatten ihm nur immer wieder zu verstehen gegeben, er hätte ihre Tochter schon genug verletzt.

Extractions: Equal parts enjoyment and aggravation. Give it a (brief) try. Format: Novel Genre: Literature Published: Dates read: 2001-10-01 to 2002-07-09 Summary: Vikram Seth's novel is, at its core, a love story: the tale of Lata'sand her mother, Mrs. Rupa Mehra'sattempts to find a suitable boy for Lata, through love or through exacting maternal appraisal. Set in the early 1950s in an India newly independent and struggling through a time of crisis, A Suitable Boy takes us into the richly imagined world of four large extended families and spins a compulsively readable tale of their lives and loves. A sweeping panoramic portrait of a complex, multiethnic society in flux, A Suitable Boy remains the story of ordinary people caught up in a web of love and ambition, humor and sadness, prejudice and reconciliation, the most delicate social etiquette and the most appalling violence. Perhaps to atone for the length of the book, this review will be mercifully short. A Suitable Boy is the story of several Indian families whose paths intersect continually over a period of about a year. India has only recently gained its independence from the British, and in his lenthy tome Seth takes us through all the ramifications of that momentous change, from the modern city to the backwards country, and from the political to the intensely personal. But, as the title suggests

Extractions: EVENTS The Vikram Seth Chat F or all those of us who stayed awake that night, he was on time. The first thing that strikes you about Vikram Seth, in India to promote his latest novel An Equal Music, is his height, which is of Napoleonic proportions. The writer whom Shobha De predicts will win a Nobel Prize spared more than his promised hour for The Rediff Chat, hosted from New Delhi, and we are pleased to say he enjoyed it as did those who were online with him. The poet and novelist mulled over his answers before keying in his replies. The questions came fast and furious, but Seth kept apace, till time ran out. Happily, he has promised an encore after his next book. Mr Vikram Seth: Hello, I am here for your questions. Natalia: Dear Mr Seth, I really loved A Suitable Boy, which I have just read. I read it in Finnish. Have your other books been translated in Finnish? Mr Vikram Seth: Natalia: I'm afraid that no other novels have been translated into Finnish so far, but An Equal Music

Extractions: Vikram Seth has been compared to George Eliot, Leo Tolstoy, and Goethe. His first novel, The Golden Gate, is written entirely in tetrameter sonnets, something that had never been done in the English language before. The Suitable Boy, his prose fiction debut, examined multigenerational Hindu/Muslim conflict in 1950s India and holds the distinction of being the longest single volume ever published in English. But Seth is much more than a literary statistic in the Guinness Book of World Records. Eugene Robinson, a literary critic for the Washington Post called him, "the best writer of his generation." Other critics have compared him to George Eliot, Leo Tolstoy, and Goethe. Since he was first published in 1980, Seth has produced six books of poetry and three novels.
"Vikram Seth: Poetry Of An Exile" By Deversh Patel.
vikram seth Poetry Of An Exile. The Golden Gate by vikram seth. Vintage Books,1991. (Click on image to purchase). And maybe vikram seth is such a poet.
http://www.cprw.com/Patel/vikram.htm

Extractions: The Golden Gate (Random House, 1986) I want a poet, an uncommon wantand the poet wants form, something the uncommon critic will hopefully understand. And maybe Vikram Seth is such a poet. Though he has written poetry for at least two decades, he was unknown to me until the behemoth novel A Suitable Boy weighed in on the literary circuit and bookshelves. I could not acquire all of his poetry books (it seems two decades is now the time limit for books to be out of print...out of date, out of mind), though I was able to find these four. His other works, none of which are reviewed here but which might be worth a look, include more poetry, the novel, a libretto, and travelogues. But who is this Vikram Seth anyhow? And what a funny name for an English poet. A post-colonial, no doubt. Is his poetry about India? Will there be Odes to the British Raj? Will we be given a feast of epigrams on Mountbatten? Happily, Seth has no such agenda. The biographical sketches included in the books yield some clues about him: Economics and Philosophy at Oxford; travels through China; Stanford, Masters pending (for 10 years!). He is basically a well-educated, cosmopolitan man. The only conclusion one draws about his choice of becoming a writer is that of a possible rebellion against wealthy parents.

Extractions: II. Recensione: "Il ragazzo giusto" Per definire Il ragazzo giusto di Vikram Seth, l’informazione giornalistica si è sperticata in giudizi e accostamenti iperbolici, chiamandolo un "romanzo che fa data", procedendo a sincretismi azzardati, scomodando Guerra e pace e a bagno maria in Via col Vento Il ragazzo giusto è un’affabile macchina narrativa zeppa di persone, eventi e profumi. Uno sterminato affresco indiano che, davvero, alterna le cadenze della "sit com" con quelle della creazione poetica, cui Vikram Seth ha dedicato (e dedica) attenta e appassionata attenzione. Dopo un lungo soggiorno di studio in Cina, infatti, ha tradotto due libri di poesie dal cinese in inglese. Stimolato dalla lettura dell’ Eugenio Onieghin ha poi scritto un romanzo composto nientemeno che di 600 stanze pushkiniane, Golden Gate Aryon and the Dolphin , commissionata dalla English National Opera. Carte più che in regola, dunque, per parlare di "Letteratura". La stesura di
