My review of 50 Writers, 50 Books: The Best Of Indian Fiction is in the most recent Time Out Delhi, and can be read here. I really enjoyed this collection; some essays more than others. And I’ll admit to a certain amount of warm-and-fuzzy that Mervyn Peake (NOT a writer of Indian fiction) shows up in there twice.
