"Chronicling Manjit Bawa's personal and professional life and the myriad experiences and influences that shaped him as an artist and a man, Ina Puri presents to us his various facets — artist, poet, pacifist, singer musician, actor, father, husband and friend. She gives us delightful peeks into Bawa's life and his milieu as he cycles across the countryside with charcoal stick in hand, sketching bearded fakirs, Sufi singers and monuments in ruins; walks behind Bertrand Russell in an anti-war procession in London (where he also worked as a screen-printer, gambler and restauranteur); and organizes, along with fellow artists, 'Rejects 1984', an exhibition to deride the establishment which has spurned their works." - excerpt from inside flap
