Delhi Belly is a collection of entertaining and provocative short stories that begins with a light-hearted look at the contemporary politics of the sacred cow. It then offers stories of love, betrayal, friendship, and estrangement. There are stories that feature party-loving expats, gay men who gather in rituals of display, and travellers who must negotiate the threats of peril, real or imagined. There are stories of seduction, the fear of the unknown, and imaginary imprisonment. Meet Adrian, a know-it-all expat, and Ayudh, an attention-seeking artist. Meet Jessica, a housewife who swaps her garden in Britain for a strange new one in Delhi, Kathy, who goes to sea in search of a story, and June, who is simply after revenge. Everyone, in Delhi Belly, must somehow come to terms with India, difficult and strange, ancient and new.
