Goodbye to Elsa is a richly entertaining satirical novel. It is at the same time an acute study of the loneliness of the individual trying to relate himself to his fellow men. Tristan, who tells his own story, is an Assistant Professor of History. Having gone blind in one eye, he leaves his wife, Elsa, and his son, both of whom he detests, and hides in a deserted farm-house with the intention of killing himself. Here he recalls his life, particularly his love life in India, England and Canada — a series of disappointments and persecutions. While meticulously preparing to put an end to his sufferings he meets Marie, the daughter of a grocer, who offers him love and understanding and encourages him to face life. Tristan responds to the challenge, but his response, like much else of what he does, is distorted by his conviction that he has a Messianic role to play . . . and the outcome is very different from anything he had envisaged. REVIEWS "Funny, full of bite" — The Times (London) “Cowasjee knows how to tell a story and handles his language admirably.” — Khushwant Singh “Entirely original and elegantly written. Goodbye to Elsa is a deadly serious comedy... In many ways this brilliant novel is a hymn to women, in others a funny and sophisticated revelation of British Empire man.” — The Listener (London)

This hilarious novel is a worthy sequel to the author’s highly acclaimed Goodbye to Elsa. Tristan, an Anglo-Indian professor, meets divorcee Maura Hawkins at a nudist meeting and instantly falls in love with her. He has just been released from a mental asylum to which obviously (he tells us) he had been admitted unfairly. What follows is a crazy romp through a small Canadian town, involving its local university. Its batting academics, its feminists and young mothers, and not least Maura's year-old daughter, Clare. Tristan sees in Clare a hope for the future, and decides to ‘rescue’ her from her mother and this God forsaken country and take her to India with him. He plans a kidnapping one that is totally absurd and completely believable. REVIEWS "In a way it is a crazy book — not a novel at all, but just a book, a damn good one too". — Henry Miller "Funny, full of bite." — The Times (London)
