In this engaging memoir, a homeless American artist flees New York to backpack alone across India. Armed with a wry sense of humor and a boundless curiosity, he crisscrosses a dazzling, fragile, and complicated country. Travel with him as he wanders from the thrilling chaos of Mumbai to the burning ghats of Varanasi, from the monkey-ridden temples of Jaipur to the colorful slums of Kolkata, from the surreal dreamscapes of Hampi to the serene shores of Goa. Joyous, wistful, heartbreaking, and full of surprises, "Lost Among The Marigolds" describes an unforgettable journey, an amazing landscape, and the marvelous complexities of the human condition.
