Because I’m still thinking very much of EdBookFest (it’ll pass I know, especially when I’ve caught up with my report writing), I wanted to share another of the shots I took at the bookshop, during the course of my wanderings. This is of course New Delhi-based Rahul Bhattacharya’s novel, The Sly Company of People Who Care (Picador), which is about a cricket commentator who decides to give up India to go and live in the colonial state of Guyana, South America, where the ethnic mix is as diverse and unique as the country itself.
I had the pleasure of hearing Bhattacharya read from his novel during EdBookFest, and his reading was as colourful and vibrant as the man himself. I recommend you give his book a try (although not fully because I’ve yet to read and review the book myself
), because I think it may well have something special.
