Arundathi Roy

Shard: I agree with your comment about the morality issue.

It's a novel, for heavens sake, and an enjoyable one. I didn't think it was a very "Indian" novel or an insightful one, but it was definitely good. Better than a lot of other Indian English novels.

Aside: I wish RK Narayan had received some recognition. I come across lots of people who have read AR and never heard of RKN. RKN was an "Indian" writer in a way that Rushdie and AR have never been.
