Review :
'The idea for this book is a good one: what happens to the publishing industry and readership and creative writing once a national economy is opened up to the global free market and there is an upsurge of English-speaking middle-class young adults with the capacity for international travel? [...] [This book is] a productive contribution to Indian English fiction studies.' -Paul Sharrad, 'Journal of Postcolonial Writing'
