Vikram Seth’s most lauded works are the travel book From Heaven Lake (1983), the verse novel The Golden Gate (1986), and the epic novel A Suitable Boy (1993), which is one of the world’s longest novels. The Golden Gate is based on Charles Johnston’s translation of Aleksandr Pushkin’s verse novel Eugene Onegin (1833).
