My Friend Sancho
My first book, My Friend Sancho, was published in May 2009, and went on to become the biggest selling debut novel released that year in India. It is a contemporary love story set in Mumbai, and had earlier been longlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize 2008. To learn more about the book, click here.

Discussing A Farewell To Alms
I am immensely impressed by the quality of this discussion over at Marginal Revolution. First, Tyler Cowen writes his impressions of the first 112 pages of Gregory Clark’s A Farewell to Alms. Then an outstanding—and civil!—discussion takes place in the comments, with the author of book being discussed, Clark, joining in. This is blogging at its very best.
I’ve received a review copy of the book, as it happens, but haven’t yet begun reading it. But when I do, having read the discussion on MR will enrich and inform my reading experience so much. May there be many more such posts!
