description: Travel Writing. "Soon after I arrived in India, Mr. Mankekar, the man whose house I lived in, teased me with a cautionary 'If a writer visits India for two or three weeks, he writes a book. If he spends a few months here, he writes an article. If he lives here for a year, he writes nothing.'I lived in India for a year and, though my narrative may appear to ignore Mr mankekar's words, I think I've abided by the spirt of his sensible warning. India is overwhelming." ("Foreward"). A good example ot it genre, A PASSAGE THROUGH INDIA is a fascinating record of the author's journey.Robert Hamburger is the author of Our portion of hell, A STRANGER IN THE HOUSE, ALL THE LONELY PEOPLE, and TWO THE LIFE OF CHARLES ERSKINE SCOTT WOOD.
