As the UN's climate change chief, Dr Rajendra Pachauri has spent his career
writing only the driest of academic articles. But the latest offering from
the chairman of the UN’s climate change panel is an altogether racier tome.
Some might even suggest Dr Pachauri’s first novel is frankly smutty.
Return to Almora, published in Dr Pachauri’s native India earlier this
month, tells the story of Sanjay Nath, an academic in his 60s reminiscing on
his "spiritual journey" through India, Peru and the US.
On the way he encounters, among others, Shirley MacLaine, the actress, who
appears as a character in the book. While relations between Sanjay and
MacLaine remain platonic, he enjoys sex – a lot of sex – with a lot of
women.
