PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
William Dalrymple, who wrote so magically about India in City of Djinns, returns to the country in a series of remarkable essays in this fourth book. Featured in the pages of The Age of Kali are fifteen-year-old guerrilla girls and dowager Maharanis; flashy Bombay drinks parties and violent village blood feuds; a group of vegetarian terrorists intent on destroying India's first Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet; and a palace where port and cigars are still carried to guests on a miniature silver steam train.
