Reseña del libro "American Sahib (en Inglés)"

The only novel ever written about the American Peace Corps experience in rural Punjab, with penetrating insight into Punjab Village, India, often using satirical humor. The author vividly reveals the secrets of society in a rural Indian village. For James Weldon, it is either Vietnam as a soldier in the US Army or the Peace Corps. Threatened, not by communists, but by the military draft, he fights for a deferment and goes to India in the Peace Corps for a food production project in the late nineteen sixties. When the American Sahib arrives, the Indians find it difficult to take him seriously, since the local Jats are some of the world's best farmers. James is gung-ho and hits the ground running. He realizes that what the farmers need is not his American knowledge, but capital and machinery. He is forced to find creative, although treacherous, ways to deal with the male chastity belt. Funny and honest, the most revealing book one will ever read about the real India. A delightful read from beginning to end.
