Books: Where Kipling Left Off
(2 of 2)
In his secular Pilgrim's Progress, Hero Hatterr loses his rupees but never his resilience. Totting up his experiences, he wryly invokes the code of the departed sahibs: "A sportsman, if at all genuine, never stops shooting . . . Carry on boys, and continue like hell!" Fun in some spots, frantic in others, flat in a few, All About H. Hatterr takes up where Kipling left off. But Kipling would hardly know the old locale when Desani gets through with it.
