I finished reading Song of Kali today (the one advantage in being sick is the ability to get some reading done), and it really is an intense book. It tells the story of Bob Luczak, a poet and scholar from New England who gets the oppotunity to travel to India to write articles for two magazines about an Indian poet who had been missing for eight years and who had been believed dead. Bob decides to take along his Indian born wife, Amrita, a mathmetician and scholar herself, and their lovely baby daughter Victoria, very much against the advice of one of his best friends, the editor of one of the magazines. While in the city of Calcutta, Bob tries to track down the missing poet, and finds all sorts of clues pointing to an ancient and suppressed cult of Kali, the death goddess - a cult that still practices human sacrifice... Our lives are the songs that sing the universe into existence.~David Zindell ****Tavern Wench of DOGMA, the Defenders of George Martin's Art****<i>Edited by: Duchess of Malfi at: 7/29/03 10:56 pm </i>
