Ka by Roberto Calasso
Stories of the Mind and Gods of India
An intricate retelling of ancient Indian myths and philosophies, it traces cycles of creation and dissolution through the deeds of gods, sages, and mortals, mapping how desire, sacrifice, and ritual give rise to the world. Moving across Vedic hymns, Upanishadic insight, epic encounters, and Buddhist awakenings, it weaves a luminous meditation on illusion, metamorphosis, and the search for the self. The result is a shimmering tapestry that asks who speaks the world into being and how stories shape consciousness.
