The Book of Chocolate Saints by Jeet Thayil
The Book of Chocolate Saints follows the unforgettable character Francis Newton Xavier and his journey towards salvation - or damnation - or perhaps both.
Jeet Thayil, born in Kerala in 1959, was educated at Jesuit schools in Bombay, Hong Kong, and New York. He worked as a journalist for twenty-three years before writing his first novel, Narcopolis. His five poetry collections include These Errors Are Correct, which won the 2013 Sahitya Akademi Award (India's National Academy of Letters), and he is the editor of The Bloodaxe Book of Contemporary Indian Poets. Narcopolis was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the Man Asian Literary Prize, among others, and awarded the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. The Book of Chocolate Saints is his second novel.
