Take a bumbling simpleton who wonders at times if ‘Randy’ is actually a guy’s name hailing from ‘Jajau’ a bullock town in the 90’s Madhya Pradesh (even though he calls it ‘The Paris Of Madhya Pradesh,’ I can’t help but wonder) and put him in ‘The New World’ and you have yet another story about ‘The American Dream.’
Enter Gopal, the hero of Anurag Mathur’s ‘The Inscrutable Americans’ - a god-fearing (and mother-fearing and grandmother-fearing) chap who gets a scholarship to study in a small university in Eversville and is travelling to the USA determined to eat vegetarian food (preferably cooked by Brahmins). And yes, he is hell bent on avoiding American women and other ‘unhealthy’ habits.
