in
Ved
Mehta's
Continents
of
Exile
series.
Nearly
50
years
in
the
making,
Continents
of
Exile
is
one
of
the
great
works
of
twentieth-century
autobiography:
the
epic
chronicle
of
an
Indian
family
in
the
twentieth
century.
From
1930s
India
to
1950s
Oxford
and
literary
New
York
in
the
1960s-80s,
this
is
the
story
of
the
post-colonial
twentieth
century,
as
uniquely
experienced
and
vividly
recounted
by
Ved
Mehta.The
Stolen
Light
engages
with
the
particular
difficulties
of
Mehta's
experience:
he
was
blind
in
a
college
made
for
the
seeing,
he
was
an
Indian
in
the
United
States,
a
Hindu
in
a
Christian
environment,
a
dark-skinned
man
surrounded
by
white
people.
With
compelling
honesty
and
humour,
Mehta
describes
his
struggles
to
live
an
ordinary
university
life
-
dating,
riding
a
bicycle,
keeping
up
with
his
studies
-
while
dealing
with
incredible obstacles.
