Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 224 pages. Ashok Mathur's debut novel, Once Upon an Elephant, was a hilarious murder mys tery steeped in Hindu mythology and starring elephant-headed Hindu deity Ganesh. The Short, Happy Life of Harry Kumar, nominated for Best Book in the regional Commonwealth Writers Prize, continues Mathur's playful jaunt through mythology, this time blending the Hindu epic, the Ramayana, with the geography of Canada an d Australia. Harry Kumar is an unlikely hero who finds himself vaulted into a gl obe-trotting quest to rescue his closest friend and confidant who's been kidnapp ed by a mysterious villain. With his travelling companion, a somewhat high-strun g dog named Hanuman, Harry becomes embroiled in the odd politics that govern our world--and his own history. Harry travels a fantastic, twisting trail in search of a woman, his best friend and perhaps lover, in a twisting tale of fate and t he backwards/forwards of time.

Editorial Reviews Review The narrative has an exu berance and breadth . . . Mathur possesses a comic touch that is deft, light, an.…
