Arrow of the Blue Skinned God by Jonah Blank
jobbi’s review: “Intelligent, non-patronising and thoughtful look at India. Funny and though-provoking anecdotes alternate with snippets from the Ramayana. Perhaps a little short, but then if it were more in-depth it would probably have lost some of its flow.” Image Books (1993), Paperback (via jobbi’s reviews from LibraryThing)
