“Book Descriptions: Udhaya is a virile hedonist, an angsty writer, a discriminating connoisseur, a reverent Francophile and an abrasive critic. Time-tested, seasoned and experienced, he transports the reader to the rustic streets of Thanjavur, the buzzing locality of Mylapore, the boondocks of Delhi, the most engaging historical whereabouts of France, Thailand and Morocco, and (quite often) his beloved's bedroom with uncensored personal anecdotes. Unabashedly raw, undeniably true to life and pluckily critical, Marginal Man anatomizes the personalities and the sexual nature of its vast and curious cast and the eidos of multiple societies with a fine scalpel.” DRIVE
