The Inscrutable Americans

Anurag Mathur

Rupa [Publisher]

A bumbling, wannabe-American, rustic Indian yokel who lands up in America, to be dazed by the sights and sounds of the western culture makes an easy setting for humour. The book is a fictional biography of Gopal, the kid from Madhya Pradesh who finds himself in America for his studies. He is quite intelligent, but not what his peer group would call “cool” in US. And the book goes on to narrate the adventures and exploits, of Gopal with his friend-in-need, Randy, in an alien country. His dreams, his fantasies, and his constantly bloating ego with the thought of having seen so much more than his friends at the village, and especially his letters back home do generate some chuckles, if not boisterous laughter, as you go through the book. And the growth of Gopal, through the two year journey is brought out quite empathetically in the end.
