The Baptism of Tony Calangute
This book tells the story of Tony Calangute, the owner of Happy Bar, and his fiery cousin Dino Dantas, self-appointed guardian of Aparanta, the mythic, idyllic Goa of old. Their tale begins in the sleepy seaside village of Socorro Do Mundo, where time holds little meaning. In prose that is partly lyrical, part brutal satire, yet always passionate author evokes the essence of a paradise on the verge of losing its soul.
