[ilds] Indian Mertaphysics

[Bruce Redwine]

No, I haven’t read it.  But I seem to recall this book was being sold at the Vancouver meeting in 2014.  My sense is that the study is a positive take on Durrell’s Indian “metaphysics.”  Sex seems to be a big part of this.  Nambiar’s article, “The Spirit of Tantric Maithuna in The Avignon Quintet,” appeared in Deus Loci, NS10 (2006-2007):  167-76, where he concludes:  “I look upon Durrell as a liberator even of Indians from the puritanical tradition which they have inherited.”
