Author: G. V. Desani

“When this book first appeared 22 years ago, it was praised by a fine clutch of literary pundits–yet disappeared almost without trace the moment after. Let us hope that this time ‘Hatterr’ will achieve the permanent status it deserves as a  comic masterpiece. Let us hope, too, that Mr Desani’s long spiritual quest since this novel was written may have supplied him with material for another book–comic, serious, or both at once.”
