Francis Newton Xavier has lived a life of excess in pursuit of an uncompromising aesthetic vision. His paintings and poems, which embody a decadent jeu d'esprit, are to be celebrated at a final show, and party, in New Delhi. Approaching late middle age, in a body ravaged by hard living, Xavier leaves Manhattan with his partner, Goody Lol. Their journey to India becomes a delirious voyage into the past, but Xavier must also contemplate an uncertain future of salvation and damnation.
Told in a dazzling range of voices, The Book of Chocolate Saints is an epic novel of contemporary life set in the mysterious margins where art bleeds into the occult.
