The Beautiful and the Damned: A Portrait of the New India

By Siddhartha Deb
"Deb grew up in northeastern India, won a fellowship to Columbia, published two novels plus lots of reviews and other pieces (e.g., "Boston Globe, n + 1"), then returned to India to work underground for the "Guardian" at a call center in New Delhi. He turned his experiences into this account of the massive contradictions of India, where BMWs idle before gentle cows. India's future matters, and as a novelist Deb should give his writing a narrative arc." (Library Journal)  Check Our Catalog
