Low

From the Booker-shortlisted author: one mans whirlwind weekend of self-destructive grief. Ullis went to the bathroom and carefully unfolded the business card and placed it on the sink. Then he rolled up a note and snorted the last of his wifes ashes. Following the death of his wife Dominic Ullis escapes to Bombay in search of oblivion and a dangerous new drug Meow Meow. So begins a glorious weekend of misadventure as he tours the teeming kaleidoscopic city from its sleek eyries of high-capital to the piss-stained streets encountering a cast with their own stories to tell but none of whom Ullis - his faculties ever distorted - is quite sure he can trust. Heady heartbroken and heartfelt Low is a blazing joyride through the darklands of grief towards obliteration - and perhaps epiphany. Jeet Thayil delights not just in pushing the bounds of possibility but in smashing them to smithereens.
