- Govindas Vishnoodas Desani (1909–2000), known as G. V. Desani, was a British-Indian novelist, poet, and social commentator. He was born in Kenya, reared in India and came of age in Britain. Knowledgeable about ancient Eastern spiritual traditions, Desani is best known as the author of All About H. Hatterr (1948), a comic farce which lampooned Anglo and Indian culture and spiritual traditions. An epic-style poetic work, Hali (1950), and its subsequent pairing with his short stories, Hali and Short Stories (1991) made up most of his fiction. Other writings included news reporting, humour and commentary. In later years Desani taught Eastern Philosophy in the United States. (en)
