Recenzii

The holy city on the banks of the Ganges River teems with life andKaleidoscope Cityis Ede's attempt to get under the skin of this sprawling, contradictory place
Affectionate and inquiring . There's a sparkle to his account of Varanasi, which is slim but as multi-layered as the soot on the city's roofs . Kaleidoscope City conveys wonderfully well love of life, that the author says is the most striking characteristic of the people of Varanas
Brims with warmth, humility and curiosity . The rhythms of life and death by the river are vividly rendered in Moore Ede's fluid prose
It takes a resident's insight to balance the city's darker side with a celebration of its luminous creativity, renowned cuisine and masti, an infectious joie de vivre peculiar to its inhabitants. Moore Ede strikes such a balance with elegance and style. *****
