Long and winding road

The Statesman talks to nomadic NZ writer, Will Marks, about his ongoing love affair with India while reviewing his debut novel, The Highway. “I didn’t have a lot of expectations of India but when I finally landed up here in 1998 it affected me in a stronger way than the 40 countries that I visited ever did.” The Highway is praised as “a lucid otherworldly trip on the undulating road to nirvana and self-discovery across the Indian subcontinent.”
