Beschreibung des Verlags
The relationship of Jeffrey and Sylvia Dharma is changed forever following an African holiday. Sylvia has a romance with Remus Jallow, a West African palm tapper and moves to the Gambia. She becomes involved with Molefi Bankaketse, a Botswana hitman to take on the dangerous Bob Jatta, a sexually dysfunctional people trafficker whom she has publicly offended. Bob Jatta, is an irredeemable villain, and lets us into his twisted mind as one of the narrators of this novel.
Feeling confused by how his life has suddenly changed, Jeffrey goes to India and finds love in the Tibetan community of Dharamsala. Sadly his love for Rinzen is unrequited. Rinzen was born in Lithang, 3,954 metres up on the Tibetan Plateau, Jeffrey thinks he’ll try his luck there; hoping to find another equally beautiful Tibetan woman. While waiting for a bus to Lithang in Kangding in Sichuan, Jeffrey has an erotic encounter with three young Chinese women. Arriving in Lithang he falls in love with his hotel manager, an otherworldly Tibetan lady with a love of English poetry.
An inner voice tells Jeffrey that he must travel to Puri in India. There he forms a cult of sexual self-realisation with Sylvia's former lover, Remus and the two are joined by a former Japanese adult video star. Lord Krishna seeks these three humans to be the avatars of his Jagannath incarnation, along with sister, Subhadra and brother, Balabhadra. The three are represented as members of the black, white and yellow races of the world. He wants them to carry his message of universal love and racial harmony to all. Guidance comes from a beer-loving Jesus and the words of Leonard Cohen.
Dharma Sutra’s main characters narrate their own story, and in addition, other captivating characters reveal their interpretation of this voyage of sexual self-discovery.
Dharma Sutra uses Indian mythology to give weight to the stories, and you’ll visit some unusual locations around the world, which will make you question your perceptions. Dharma Sutra is a thrilling magical realism journey, unlike anything you have experienced before.
