Críticas:
Breathtaking in scope and peopled with a cast of fantastical characters, this debut from the young heir apparent to Zadie Smith's throne is undeniably impressive. It tells the story of Pran Nath - a 'blackie-whitey' (i.e. of mixed parentage) who is cast from the family home when the identity of his real, English father is discovered. He is then taken in by some eunuch prostitutes, that being one of the more normal fates to befall him. Set in India in the early decades of the 20th century, it captures well the everyday madness of that bewildering country, but for some, the endless hyphenated names, digressions into Moghul history and bizarre scene upon bizarre scene will be too much. One exotic dish in a restaurant is enjoyable - 10 in a row can begin to cloy.
Reseña del editor:
A magnificent debut novel which is set to be the WHITE TEETH of 2002. THE IMPRESSIONIST is a comic saga about history, identity and home. A boy is born in Agra - half Indian, half English - at the dawn of the twentieth century. Ejected from his father's house as a teenager when his true parentage is revealed, he embarks on an unforgettable odyssey in search of a home and an identity. Set against the vast, colourful background of colonial India, England and Africa, this epic novel brings tolife a riotous cast of characters, and asks what it means to be Indian or English, black or white, or both.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. First Edition. London: Penguin / Hamish Hamilton, 2002. Hardcover. First Edition. Fine book in a Near Fine jacket. Pages lightly tanned. Spine straight and tight. Sticker from Giggles bookshop Madras to rear pastedown. Jacket clean with reading wear to top edge. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 481 pages. This is the extraordinary story of a child conceived in a wild monsoon night, a boy destined to be an outsider, a man with many names and no name. Born into luxury but disinherited and cast out onto the streets of Agra, Pran Nath must become a chameleon. Chasing his fortune, he will travel from the red light district of Bombay to the green lawns of England to the unmapped African wilderness. He will play many different roles -- a young prize in a brothel, the adopted son of Scottish missionaries, the impeccably educated young Englishman headed for Oxford -- in order to find the role that will finally fit. Daring and riotously inventive, The Impressionist is an odyssey of self-discovery: a tale of the many lives one man can live and of the universal search for true identity.
