rule, touring extensively and recording his observations.
Hiuen Tsang, Buddhist scholar, faced heavy odds as he
travelled through India in 629 AD, to seek the law of

Owl's Wondrous Capers returns to his foundry of words and

the ultimate aphrodisiac in the seedy by-lanes of old

Will they escape the ever-watchful eyes of the government?
Will their dreams of an egalitarian, socialist democracy
come to nothing? Will the Naya Savera Band raise its voice
in song again? Find out in Vishwajyoti Ghosh's graphic

The Hotel at the End of the World / Parismita Singh. -- New
Delhi : Penguin Books, 2009. -- 139 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. --
"In the Hotel at the end of the world it's business as
usual, as Pema dishes up rice and pork curry to travellers
who stop by for a drink and refuge from the rains. Everyone
there has a story to tell, and at times they end up
revealing more than they want to. On their journey to
China, Kona and Kuja, bound together by fate, stumble upon
the trail of the Floating Island, promised land of plenty.
Pema's story is about lost love, while her husband speaks
of homesick Japanese soldiers in Manipur and the Naga hills
during World War II. The Prophet takes us back to the quest
for the Floating Island, leading us to the little girl's
story as she sets out to fetch water and chances upon
something quite unexpected. Drawing from various oral
storytelling and folklore traditions, and with influences
ranging from Commando war comics to World War II history
and Buddhist art, Parismita Singh creates a world that's
magical and yet very real. Exquisite in terms of both
narrative and artwork, The Hotel at the End of the World
marks a new height in graphic fiction in India." --
