Cross cultural linege in splendid form.
I was introduced to Vassanji while I was in my final year at university. He was being explored in Indian authors writing in english.
Vassanji is a fantastic story teller, his prose is smooth and imbued with myth and the intricate patterns of the narrators lineage.
The very title " gunny sack" promised much hertitage as it means a sack used for travelling. The author finds this and it is a metaphor for the discovery of his familial hertitage as he traces his ancestry from India to Africa.

This book is great especially if you are of indian hertitage and have been displaced from your original homeland.
