From Publisher:

East meets West in this romp of a novel that combines the hilarity of Catch-22 with the urgency of ER and the poignancy of The World According to Garp. Sonny Seth is a brilliant but rebellious medical resident at a New York hospital that services a community of eccentric expatriates from India. His most demanding patient and trusted confidant-- known only as the Transplanted Man-- is a high-level Indian government official whose major organs have been transplanted at least once. Deathly ill but amusingly wise, he is now hunted by assassins and his sneaky nemesis, a Bollywood superstar vying for stardom in politics. Trying to solve his patient' s ballooning afflictions, Sonny faces demons of his own in a soul-searching journey that will involve a bibliophilic English nurse, a scientist desperate to discover a cure for insomnia, and a psychotherapist constantly confused for a New Age guru. With a cast of wonderfully drawn characters, Transplanted Man offers a new kind of passage to India, and pays tribute to the rich, bristling subculture where India and America intersect.
