Hello Duane: Last year, I think, one issue of NEWYORKER, in April, was entirely about new Indian writers in English. If you can find it well, otherwise let me know and I will find out the exact date for you. A new book edited by Salman Rushdie (Satanic Verses) gives you the sampling of Indian fiction for last 50 years. Some of the stories, I remember reading in Hindi way back. Arundhati Roy's "A God of Small Things" won the prestigious Booker (equivalent to our Pulitzer) prize for fiction this year in UK. The best book on Indian culture, religion, people, I have read, is by Noble Prize winning Mexican author, Octavia Paz (he was Mexico's ambassdor to India) "In Light of India". Have fun. Regards, Satish

Salman Rushdie, the SALON interview. Dulane: Here is another Indian writer who has been living under the 'Fatwa' of the late Khomeni or Iran and his retinue of religious nuts.I guess this interview was conducted right after Rushide published the book 'The Moor's Last Sigh'.This novel is set in Pepper country where I am from. salon1999.com
