All About H. Hatterr by G. V. Desani [Paperback]

"All About H. Hatterr" is a wildly funny and eccentric novel that follows H. Hatterr, the son of a European merchant and a Penang woman, on his quest for enlightenment across seven Oriental cities. During his journey, he consults with seven sages, each offering a unique perspective on "Living," leading Hatterr into a series of bizarre and comedic adventures. Despite the wisdom he seeks, he often escapes these encounters more through luck than insight. The novel's playful and innovative prose has been praised by Salman Rushdie as a groundbreaking effort in English literature.
