Vikram Seth is an Indian poet, novelist, and travel writer known for his verse novel The Golden Gate (1986) and his epic novel A Suitable Boy (1993), which is one of the longest English-language novels published as a single-volume work. Seth was born June 20, 1952, in Kolkata, India. He was raised in London and India. His mother, Leila Seth, was a judge, and his father, Prem Nath Seth, was a businessman. He received a master's degree in economics from Stanford University in the United States in 1978 and later studied at Nanjing University in China. In 1987 he returned to India to live with his family in New Delhi. Seth did not attract critical attention until the publication of From Heaven Lake (1983), a story of his journey hitchhiking from Nanking to New Delhi via Tibet. Seth continued to publish more poetic works and in 2005 published Two Lives, a family memoir, which was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award for autobiography.
