Ep 22: From Mumbai to (Old) Delhi

from Bookasur · host P.S. Nissim

Writers spend years researching and understanding the settings of their books - and when this is done right, the book really shines. This is an aspect that doesn’t get the respect it deserves in Indian genre fiction. In this episode we talk of two books that bring out their respective milieus - modern Mumbai through a cop’s eyes, and Mughal-era Delhi through a nobleman’s, through extensive research. This is episode #22 of Bookasur, talking about Shivaji Park and Bandra Bandstand, Shahjahanabad, Brother Cadfael, and Amar Akbar Anthony. Books featured: Intersections, by Gautam S. Mengle The Englishman’s Cameo, by Madhulika Liddle -------- Published 29th December 2020. Find out more about Bookasur here: https://www.psnissim.com/p/bookasur.html P.S.
