This is a personal exploration by a woman of her
spiritual and intellectual heritage. Raised in
the tradition of Kali worship that she describes
as "pregnant nothingness," she traces Kali's
footprints as Desire in Indian literature. Her
reading of history and narrative travels an
immense landscape – from the Rig Veda and
Buddhist stories to Sufi poetry and contemporary
novels – in the quest for a goddess who has
fascinated her since childhood.
