Revisiting the Mines: Essays and Excavations
Memoir essays.
"[The] collection is a love letter to the transportive power of memory, incandescent with hard-earned truths and undeniable prose." ( ~ Mehr Singh, food and culture journalist, New York, City)
“Amit’s writing comes from a space within that has an immense capacity to capture beauty in multiples. Descriptions of trees collide with yearning for friends, lives and cities past with today, and yet each stands out with a strange evocative intensity. It’s a beautiful read, the one you’ll carry outdoors on a warm but breezy summer day.”
(~Sohini Chattopadhyay, Assistant Professor of History, Union College, NY)
“At a time where everything is quick and easy, Revisiting the Mines is a slow and deliberate look at the world and the rich tapestry of life. The book's breadth is vast, encompassing engaging anecdotes from Shah's long career in publishing, the interplay of his family's and the country's history, as well as rich observations from his daily walks. It's a book I enjoyed dipping into at the end of each day, it infused in me a certain calmness.”

Part memoir, part essay, part love letter to Fresh Pond, all thought-provoking.
