With The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony , Calasso turned ancient legends into modern literature and created a postmodern novel out of the ancient myths of classical Greece...in Ka , Calasso attempts to do the same with the far more sprawling and elusive corpus of classical Sanskritt literature...The result is a book as brilliantly original as anything I have ever read on Hinduism...part novel, part mythological epic, part sacred text, at once a work of the imagination and the result of great scholarship...If you want a dazzling, complex, erotic and utterly original European novel of ideas, Calasso is your man, and Ka his masterpiece.
