Venetian escapade meets spiritual Varanasi revelation.

Imagine finding yourself entwined in a narrative that splits between two mesmerizing experiences – this book offers just that. In Venice, you'll wade through the intoxicating blend of art and revelry, feeling the tug of fleeting romance. Then, you'll be swept away to Varanasi, where the existential meanders along sacred waters, beckoning a dive into self-discovery. Geoff Dyer crafts a juxtaposition that's as much about place as it is about the inner journey.

A best book of the the Economist , the New Yorker , San Francisco Chronicle , Slate.com , and TimeJeff Atman, a journalist, is in Venice to cover the opening of the Biennale. He's expecting to see a load of art, go to a lot of parties, and drink too many bellinis. He's not expecting to meet the spellbinding Laura, who will completely transform his few days in the city.
