On Friday 15 August 2008 I will be reading from City of Love at Word Power Books along with Srijato Ganguly and Alka Saraogi as part of the Edinburgh Fringe Book Festival. If you are in the city please do come: it’s free. At five pm on the same day the three of us will be on a panel titled New Kolkata Writing chaired by Roy Cross at the Edinburgh Book Festival; for this you need to register at the Festival tent.

Kancha Ilaiah has won the prestigious London Institute of South Asia (LISA) Award for 2008 for his book Why I am Not a Hindu. Richly deserved. I’m happy also for his publishers, Samya and Navayana. See here for the news, courtesy Scholars Without Borders.

Srijan invite

An open door meeting of poets will take place on 3 August at the Srijan rooftop (120 Lenin Sarani). What the ‘anchor’ bit means is that Srijato and I have to select the lineup of poets who iwll read. If you would like to read send Srijan a mail at srijan2000ATgmail.com. We usually have a large turnout so we’ll have to limit people to 30 lines each.
