...Central Valley has seen 100,000 acres culled in the past five years. But the premium end of that market--wines costing $25 a bottle and up--is on a tear, with sales growth averaging more than 30% over the past three years.

Most modern visitors are content to portray the contemporary subcontinent as a bright and shining Silicon Valley East. Many Indian novelists sit within the cozy traditions laid down by Charles Dickens and even Jane Austen. Theroux is the rare writer to see that the fascination, the power of India today, lies in the commute between the two. His characters begin in manicured, air-conditioned places, but it is the clammy grasp of desire, the smells and the slippery deals of the back...
