Abstract

The Golden Gate: A Novel in Verse (1986) is the first novel and fourth book in an oeuvre that now includes three novels, five books of poetry, an English translation of three Chinese poets, a China-Tibet travelogue, a book of fables in verse, a libretto, two children’s books, and a commemorative memoir. As the subtitle of Mala Pandurang’s monograph Vikram Seth (2001) indicates, the cosmopolitan author savors “Multiple Locations, Multiple Affiliations.” Seth’s international diversity, as his range of publications attests, also applies to his mastery of the literary genre. After the release of his self-published first book, the verse collection Mappings (1980), Seth has (so far) dedicated himself to a quarter-century of letters. His canon is as exemplary as it is innovative.
