Summary
The perils and pleasures that attends growing up.
In "A Handful of Nuts", the first of the novellas in this book, the listener is treated to vintage Bond - a gloriously funny and unexpectedly tender story of being young and adventurous in small town India. The central character would like to establish himself as a writer, but he is constantly diverted from his task by assorted escapades, romances, friends, and other distractions. Containing some of Bond’s finest writing, it is a classic coming-of-age story, told in a fresh and compelling way.
"The Sensualist", the second novella, is altogether more somber but deals with a similar theme - the trials and tribulations of a young man are coming of age. Gripping, erotic, even brutal, it explores the demons that its protagonist must grapple with before he is able to come to terms with himself.
