In fact, he did both. Nowhere does he express his own ambivalence more strongly than in \u003ci\u003eKim\u003c\/i\u003e, his rousing adventure novel of a young man of many allegiances. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKimball O’Hara grows up an orphan in the walled city of Lahore, India. Deeply devoted to an old Tibetan lama but involved in a secret mission for the British, Kim struggles to weave the strands of his life into a single pattern. Charged with action and suspense, yet profoundly spiritual, \u003ci\u003eKim\u003c\/i\u003e vividly expresses the sounds and smells, colors and characters, opulence and squalor of complex, contradictory India under British rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJeffrey Meyers\u003c\/b\u003e, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, has published forty-three books, including biographies of Ernest Hemingway, Robert Frost, D.
