readmeanything_'s review
4.0
Filled with some fantastic bits of writing with some of India's best writers. I lean towards non-fiction writing and this edition features two of my favourite Indian journalists: Aman Sethi and Raghu Karnad. I also really like Katherine Boo.
The fiction was definitely weak in comparison to the non-fiction writing, but there were some highlights. Upamanyu Chatterjee was delightful, and Neel Mukherjee's 'The Wrong Square' was unexpectedly dark.
Definitely needed more translated pieces, and a definite move away from the urban centers, but my favourite Granta edition since the Pakistan edition from 2ish years ago.
