Instrument of God. Desai rises each morning at 3 or 4 to pray, work at his spinning wheel and practice yoga until about 7. He eats only uncooked food-milk, fruit, cheese, carrot juice-and disdains even cereals. He also rejects alcohol, tobacco and modern medicine, and looks and acts at least 20 years younger than his 81 years. He swore off sex in his early 30s as a way of achieving self-control.

Despite her beauty and naivete, Beatriz is also the perversion of many myths. The forbidden fruit, she is an Italian Beatrice who leads a young man into an inferno, the Christfigure whose father shouts "My child, why have you forsaken me?" This Beatriz not only represents a reworking of past myths, she is also a symbol of moderns. As a solitary prisoner of her condition, she is doomed in her passion for another...
