Amitava Ghosh, a reminder....

Amitava Ghosh's profile is here. For the unintiated, he is one of the better Indian authors writing in English today. He is also a Bengali, something which is quite apparent, given the setting of his tales. Although I have just read the Calcutta Chromosome and the Hungry Tide, which people tell me are NOT his best works, I think I will forgive his being a Delhi University bloke. In the meantime, here is a review of the Hungry Tide which does not do justice to the book at all. I will just have to write one myself. And also remind myself to actually visit Canning (its just a short train ride from where I live).
