"Sonny Seth is a brilliant but rebellious medical resident at a New York City hospital that services a community of eccentric expatriates from India. His most demanding patient and trusted confidant - known only as the Transplanted Man - is a deathly ill but amusingly wise high-level Indian government official whose major organs have been transplanted at least once.
Trying to solve his patient's ballooning afflictions, Sonny faces demons of his own in a soul-searching journey that delves into questions about East and West, the meaning of expatriation, and life itself. Along the way, Sonny becomes involved with Gwen, a bibliophilic English nurse who seeks stability from a life driven by impulse; Dr.
Ranjan, an insomniac scientist who is desperately searching for the cause of insomnia; a Bollywood superstar seeking the spotlight in politics; a psychotherapist incessantly mistaken for a New Age guru; a chef trying to invent the perfect fusion cuisine; an orderly who wants to sing in Hindi films; and an endearing homeless man who sits on a corner and becomes the neighborhood's main tourist attraction."--BOOK JACKET.
