...local color Chettri paints with can sometimes be disorienting, if not frustratingly inaccessible, for a foreign reader. Certain domestic images are familiarly rustic - there are granaries and millstones, and whitewashed homes with butter churns, milk pails, earthen hearths and chaff-filled pillows. But other features, particularly indigenous flora, are harder to visualize, even with translator Michael J. Hutt's detailed endnotes. Bhorla, angeri leaves, chilaune trees - without an illustrated field guide, a foreign reader is simply lost...

A second-place finish still gets you delegates. Which means that for either candidate to secure the 2,025 delegates needed to capture the nomination could take much longer than either campaign has bargained...
