Premise: The Golden Gate (1986) is the first novel by poet and novelist Vikram Seth. The work is a novel in verse composed of 590 Onegin stanzas (sonnets written in iambic tetrameter, with the rhyme scheme following the "ababccddeffegg" pattern of "Eugene Onegin"). It was inspired by Charles Johnston's translation of Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin".
Hypothesis: Vikram Seth has written 20 poems.
