Review of Amitav Ghosh's essays collection Wild Fictions. The review contextualises the essays and points out the continuity between Ghosh's fiction and non-fiction. In particular, the review argues that Ghosh thinks in images and stories rather than in a traditional logical way, which makes his essayistic prose both compelling and thought-provoking.
