After the eagerly followed visit by Orhan Pamuk to Bombay, Kamila Shamsie and MG Vassanji are to be in India in March for the launch of their books.
Shamsie will be here on tour for her ambitious new novel, Burnt Shadows, which travels across modern history, starting from Guantanamo Bay and to Nagasaki, Delhi and other places resonant in our recent past.
Vassanji meanwhile has written his first non fiction book, In Place Within, which explores the country of his birth, India. His previous novel, The Assassin's Song, was a searching look at Gujarat after the 2002 riots and won wide acclaim globally.
