Moor`s Last Sigh

What do we do when the world`s walls – its family structures, its value-systems, it political forms – crumble? The central character of this novel, `Moor` Zogoiby, only son of a wealthy, artistic-bohemian Bombay family, finds himself in such a moment of crisis. His mother, a famous painter and an emotional despot, worships beauty, but Moor is ugly, he has a deformed hand. Moor falls in love, with a married woman; when their secret is revealed, both are expelled; a suicide pact is proposed, but only the woman dies. Moor chooses to accept his fate, plunges into a life of depravity in Bombay, then becomes embroiled in a major financial scandal. The novel ends in Spain, in the studio of a painter who was a lover of Moor`s mother: in a violent climax Moor has, one more, to decide whether to save the life of his lover by sacrificing his own.
