Review

“...cover[s a great deal of interesting ground...a valuable resource.” —The Toronto Review

Book Description

Toronto author Chelva Kanaganayakam seeks out 12 of today's most prominent Suth Asian writers across the globe: from Colombo (Sri Lanka) to New York, London to Sydney, Singapore to Toronto, who talk candidly about their life and work. In his turn, Kanaganayakam complements the picture by revealing the salient features behind the works, and the media, critical and public responses. What emerges is a fuller, insightful and sometimes surprising picture of some of todays more important and prolific transnational writers in their self-created world.

With introduction and afterword, biographies and bibliography, and author photographs.

Featuring:
Tariq Ali (UK), Jean Arasanayagam (Sri Lanka), David Dabydeen (UK), Arnold Harrichand Itwaru (Canada), Suniti Namjoshi (Canada, UK), Satendra Nandan (Australia), Vikram Seth (India), Bapsi Sidhwa (USA, Pakistan), Kirpal Singh (Singapore), Shashi Tharoor (India), MG Vassanji (Canada), Rajiva Wijesinha (Sri Lanka).
