Brilliantly funny and melancholy, witty, ironic and dramatic book, all at the same time. I can only say, I enjoyed this one really immensely. Can't imagine why so few people have picked this up? I had it on my shelves for some years already. It's about India, hippies getting high and following the eastern trail, in Calcutta in a broken down flea infested hotel called the Lux, operated by Anand, the insomniac hotelier, who came back to India from London expecting more.... it's about foreign journalists reporting on the 13-day India-Pakistan war, from a luxury hotel, getting 'bussed out' to the war area every day to report on the war, it's about mystery hippy killings, it's about life in India, and lateron, the characters aged, wiser and with less illusions, life in luxury Los Angeles. Colourful and funny characters like Gordon and Larry. All searching for their purpose in life, love, success.... Up to the last pages, there are new developments and insights... an unusual story. "A marvellous evocation of the glorious madness which was the 70s hippy trail"...."told with humanity and attractive sympathy for the characters and their flaws"..." And: "The Paradise Trail sparkles with humour, and has the edginess of a murder mystery; but its most bracing surprise is the acute irony with which it atomizes a counter-cultural generations' youthful fantasies and middle aged illusions"...The dialogue is the wittiest I have read in any work of fiction...". Made me think of... A Visit to the Goon Squad, The Imperfectionists, The Afterparty.... Highly recommended.
