Now to find a copy of the short stories in Philly. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and yes, as you said, interesting parallels with Keret.

I hadn't even heard of Vilas Sarang before reading this piece but his stories sound very, very interesting. <BR/><BR/>(By the way, The Electronic Zone experience was both interesting and fruitful. He was a little suspicious in the beginning- are there occasinal raids?- but when I mentioned "Jai Arjun Singh" he brought stacks of CDs down from the first floor. At least, you have influence somewhere.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1148318089482573342006-05-22T22:44:00.000+05:302006-05-22T22:44:00.000+05:30Jai Arjun,You write really good reviews.

This is a late comment, but the interview with Rajosri was revealing.<BR/><BR/>Infact, Or the day seizes you is the fiction book of the year (so far) for me. Have you read “The Long Reverie of Partha Sarma” by C. Sriram. If yes, could you do a review?<BR/><BR/>Thanks and will keep coming back<BR/>SundharAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1148311934335574392006-05-22T21:02:00.000+05:302006-05-22T21:02:00.000+05:30I nearly bought this yesterday.*kicks self*I nearly bought this yesterday.<BR/><BR/>*kicks self*Aishwaryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12871059152281065272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-1148310878430914842006-05-22T20:44:00.000+05:302006-05-22T20:44:00.000+05:30Space Bar: Some of them were written in English or...Space Bar: Some of them were written in English originally (e.g. the M Chakko one, which was originally published in <I>The London Magazine</I>), but some were written in Marathi and later translated by Sarang himself.<BR/><BR/>Karthik: you liked it?

Yippee!!<BR/><BR/>By the way, it wasn't very clear if these stories are originally written in English, or have been translated by the author?
