David Leavitt Bloomsbury FBA Paperback 2009
'A loving exploration of one of the greatest collaborations of the past century, The Indian Clerk is a novel that brilliantly orchestrates questions of colonialism, sexual identity and the nature of genius'
Manil Suri
'Leavitt brings to life a world of maths and mysticism'
Observer
'Impressive … Leavitt plunges us, like Ramanujan, into a world of academic squabbling and wartime privation'
Times Literary Supplement
'Excellent … His Hardy is a superb creation … The author also synthesises huge amounts of engrossing period gossip … the snatches of backbiting and shop-talk richly convey the anxieties of the intellectual climate'
Saturday Telegraph
