Used Book – Indian Nocturne, Antonio Tabucchi, Lise Chapuis

In the heat of the Indian nights, a man goes in search of a missing friend. Between Bombay and Goa, from impoverished slums to Western hotels with ostentatious luxury, his quest crosses paths with strange and unsettling characters. But it's easy to get lost in this enchanting country where children are seers, old men a little mad, and women so beautiful...

"This short novel, made up of fleeting encounters and whispered conversations from all corners of India, received the Prix Médicis étranger in 1987. In Italian literature, Tabucchi is placed alongside the greatest, Buzzati and Calvino. Except that he draws his secrets from the heart of reality. Tabucchi is magic!"
