Swimmer Among the Stars
256 pages; Farrar, Straus and Giroux
A virtuoso debut collection that is as globalist as it is fabulist. Tharoor sounds an alarm of a darker world to come, while telling tales of Moroccan princesses, brides on rocket ships and Indian diplomats transporting elephants.
— Hamilton Cain and Erin Vanderhoof
