The gap year classic, available as a Penguin Essential for the first time in the year of its 20th anniversary.
A devastatingly funny satire on the whole idea of student travel,and particularly the India back-pack trail. Dave travels to India with Liz because he thinks he might be able to get her into bed. Liz travels to India with Dave because she wants a companion for her voyage of spiritual discovery. She loves it. He dreams of frosty mornings, pints of lager and restaurants where vegetable curry is only a side-dish . . . Nobody is spared from [Sutcliffe's] acid pen and the result is a riotously funny trip across the sub-continent * The Sunday Times * Extremely and incisively funny * New Statesman * Very, very funny * The Times *
