Narrinder Singh Khaleka is a most fascinating phenomenon, set in his ways and pragmatic and yet, it turns out, infinitely resourceful and romantic. He is a true adventurer, and his experiences are so dramatic and breathtaking that he can only be classed as one of the great discoverers in Literature. Like Gulliver. In this unique journey into the innermost heart of the new South Africa, we encounter larger than life figures engaged in often perilous but always bizarre machinations of ideology and self-improvement. Yet the nobility and selflessness shine through, revealing through an outsider's sensiblilities that there is a loving heart after all.
