The Crossword Book Award Shortlist
… is here. My favourites: Robin David’s disturbing memoir City of Fear in the English non-fiction category, and Amitava Kumar’s novel Home Products in the English fiction category; as for Indian language fiction translation, both Govardhan’s Travels (by Anand) and Naalukettu (by M.T.Vasudevan Nair) were superb, and both are by the same translator, Gita Krishnankutty.
