It seems that everything these days is coming up India. We see Bollywood musicals, we eat at Indian cafes, we argue with Indian call-centers about our credit card bills, but most particularly we read Indian authors. Like Indian food; these books are often scrumptious. Here are some examples:
The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
The Ground Beneath Her Feet by Salman Rushdie
The Guide by R. K. Narayan
The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
The Namesake by Jumpa Lahiri
Secret Daughter by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
This is just a very small sample. Search under the subject heading “India fiction” @ www.wccls.org for a more complete listing of all that is available
