'A Tale of Two Gardens'- Octavio Paz (1990 Nobel Prize Winner) Hi Satish: After reading 'In Light of India' I thought I try a bit of Paz's poetry.To tell you the truth I like his prose better than his poetry. May be it is me as I don't get it,perhpas it is modern poetry, lot of short disjointed words sewn together with a lot of reference to Indian literature,contemporary life,puranas,Sanskrit slokas and everything.Then again who am I to question his style,he got the Nobel Prize to prove his worth and I ain't got squat to prove my point.<vbg> Oh by the way I still have a bone to pick with him on his comment about the secessionist tendencies of Tamil Nadu. I can not find any evidence of this coming out of Tamil Nadu or any Southern States for that matter, autonomy yes-separataion no. Any way it is not all that important since Paz already stated in the book that his writings about India was the product of love of the country and not anything else, besides his knowledge (mostly academic though it might have been) of the country was quite profound and as such one can only feel admiration for the man and his works and I do.
