Mehta provides a splendid insightful introduction on the craft of the essay meditating on the long history and diverse purposes of the form and on the struggle of learning to write in it himself. In the eight reportorial autobiographical and reflective essays that follow--each a self-contained examination of cultural intellectual or personal themes--he writes on his experience of becoming an American citizen; on Christian theology with a focus on Dietrich Bonhoeffer; on Calcutta and the poorest of the Indian poor; on the disastrous fates of three of Mehta s brilliant Oxford contemporaries; and on a variety of other subjects.
