I just finished reading "A Free Man". It was an excellent read. Written with such compassion and simple elegance. The first instance of Indian Gonzo journalism that I have come across. Reminded me a lot of Hunter Thompson's "Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs". Thanks for the recommendation. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
