English DDC classification: 891.21 LOC classification: PK3794.D4 | D213 2005Online resources: Table of contents Review: "What Ten Young Men Did is autobiographical in two senses. Each of the youths narrates his personal story. Nor could the author have written with such confident realism were he not drawing on his own picaresque adventures, in his native South India and beyond." "Dandin's book is also distinguished by its worldly themes. Real men and women find themselves in a variety of predicaments, from the naturalistic to the fantastic. Morality competes against satire, magic assists cynical stratagems, and ideal love is married with eroticism. The ten stories culminate in the young men's experienced wisdom and world domination."--BOOK JACKET.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
