Synopsis:
In the summer of 1999, while India and Pakistan were engaged in a war, Amitava Kumar-a Hindu Indian writer living and teaching in the United States-married a Pakistani Muslim woman. That event led to a process of discovery that prompted Kumar to examine the hatreds and intimacies joining Indians and Pakistanis, Hindus and Muslims, fundamentalists and secularists, writers and rioters. Employing elegant and spare prose, Husband of a Fanatic is a fiercely personal reflection on the idea of the enemy.
