M. Forester's journey of self-discovery (\u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e, London).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe year is 1912, and the SS Birmingham is approaching India. On board is Edward Morgan Forster, a reserved man taunted by writer's block, attempting to come to terms with his art and his homosexuality. During his travels, the novelist confronts his fraught childhood and falls in unrequited love with his closest friend. He also finds himself surprisingly freed to explore his \"minorite\" desires as secretary to a most unusual Maharajah.\u003cbr\u003eSlowly, the strands of a story begin to gather in Forster's mind: a sense of impending menace, lust in close confines, under a hot, empty sky. But it will be another twelve years and a second stay in India before the publication of his finest work, \u003ci\u003eA Passage to India\u003c\/i\u003e. Shifting across the landscapes of India, Egypt, and England, Forster's life is informed by his relationships--from the Egyptian tram conductor Mohammed el-Adl, to the Greek poet and literary titan C. P. Cavafy. Damon Galgut's reimagining of Forster's life is a clear and sympathetic psychological probing of one of Britain's finest novelists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Galgut inhabits [Forster] with such sympathetic completeness, and in prose of such modest excellence that he starts to breathe on the page.\"--\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDamon Galgut\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Good Doctor\u003c\/i\u003e, a 2003 novel that won the Commonwealth Prize (Africa Region) and was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize. \u003ci\u003eIn a Strange Room\u003c\/i\u003e (Europa, 2010) was also shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.
