Book Summary
Damon Galgut's third novel, a fictionalized biography of English author E.M. Forster, focuses on Forsters many years in India and the process of writing his masterpiece, A Passage to India. This compact, finely wrought novel also addresses Forsters unforgiving childhood in England and the homosexuality he feared and repressed throughout his life. Psychologically acute without being sentimental, Forsters relationships are described with compassion and great care. Galgut is a master at constructing strange, compelling landscapes, and Arctic Summer shifts seamlessly between staid, restricting England and Cairo and vibrant, pleasantly, absurd India. Moments of gentle humor shine through the sparse prose, lending Forster a humanity that makes his story all the more heartbreaking.
