Susmita Bhattacharya:
five favorite book of yours and why are those special to you?
Susmita Bhattacharya
Difficult to limit it to just 5, but here goes:
1. A Fine Balance - Rohington Mistry - it's a saga, set in Mumbai and I love all of Mistry's works.
2. The Hungry Tide - Amitav Ghosh - the language, the concept, the story - amazingly good. But then it is Amitav Ghosh.
3. Too Much Happiness - Alice Munro - I love short stories, and admire Munro's writing
4. The World According to Garp - John Irving - because John Irving is a class apart
5. My father's Tears - John Updike - again, these short stories are gems
Hope you can read them and see if you agree! Best wishes,
Susmita
