The Golden Gate (Seth novel)
''The Golden Gate'' (1986) is the first novel by poet and novelist Vikram Seth. The work is a novel in verse composed of 590 Onegin stanzas (sonnets written in iambic tetrameter, with the rhyme scheme following the ''ababccddeffegg'' pattern of ''Eugene Onegin''). It was inspired by Charles Johnston's translation of Pushkin's ''Eugene Onegin''.
==Plot Summary==
Set in the 1980s, ''The Golden Gate'' follows a group of yuppies in San Francisco. The inciting action occurs when protagonist John Brown, at the advice of his friend Janet Hayakawa, places an amorous advertisement of himself in the newspaper; the latter answered, at length, by trial-lawyer Elisabeth ('Liz') Dorati. A short heyday follows, in which Seth introduces and develops a variety of characters united in part by their interest in self-actualization (often in the form of agriculture) and in part by closeness to Liz or John. Thereafter is depicted the progress of their marriage ''de facto'' until its dissolution, which results in the legal marriage of Liz to John's friend 'Phillip ('Phil') Weiss', and the birth of their son. Following his rejection of Liz, John finds a second paramour in Janet, until the latter and two other friends die in an automobile collision; and is himself invited to stand godfather to Liz's son.
The novel brought its author the 1988 Sahitya Akademi Award for English, by the Sahitya Akademi, India's National Academy of Letters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sahitya Akademi Awards listings )〕
