The preceding passage from Amitav Ghosh’s fantastical work—“The Calcutta Chromosome: A novel of Fevers, Delirium & Discovery”—launched my first-ever review of a book inspired by a major milestone in tropical medicine
I loved Ghosh’s historical-cum-near-future thriller featuring, among other characters: Antar, a depressed Egyptian emigreand computer specialist living in New York; Murugan, his “cocky little rooster” of a co-worker, and a self-proclaimed authority on Ronald Ross of the Indian Medical Service; and, later, Surgeon Major Ross himself
Summary
Sometime in the 1990s, I started writing occasional book reviews for The Los Angeles Times. The preceding passage from Amitav Ghosh’s fantastical work—“The Calcutta Chromosome: A novel of Fevers, Delirium & Discovery”—launched my first-ever (and probably once-in-a-lifetime) review of a book inspired by a major milestone in tropical medicine.
