The result of a decade of travels through Indian and neighbouring countries, The Age of Kali is a collection of essays with subjects ranging in scope from the widows of Vrindavan to rap stars in Bombay; the temples as old as the Parthenon in Madurai to the socialite author Shobhaa De; the remnants of the kingdom of Avadh to meetings with then Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and cricketer Imran Khan.

Stylish, witty and steeped in knowledge, these jewel-like essays string together a captivating and enduringly relevant portrait of the subcontinent from an extraordinary writer.

"The scope of the book is particularly impressive, from the vivid opening chapters portraying the lawless caste violence of Bihar, to interviews with the drug barons on the North-West Frontier, and Dalrymple's extraordinary encounter with the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Some of the most fascinating sections of the book are Dalrymple's interviews with Imran Khan and Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan, which read like nonfiction companion pieces to Salman Rushdie's bitterly satirical Shame. The Age of Kali is a dark, disturbing book that takes the pulse of a continent facing some tough questions. --Jerry Brotton, Amazon.co.uk"
