  • Summary

  • Call it Miscellany, if you prefer. This podcast contains several pieces that I've written over the years and that I like well enough to read aloud. More current stuff can be found under the title The Itinerant Geographer, and you can find a more sustained effort, amounting to an audio book, under the title The Places Where We Belong.

    Rabindranath Tagore's Kushtia Home
    Sep 2 1996

    Twice in the 1980s I visited Rabindranath Tagore's home in rural Bengal.   Here's what I saw.  Aside from a spontaneous introduction and a few interpolations, the text comes from my Losing Asia (Johns Hopkins, 1996).
