The Popcorn Essayists: What Movies do to Writers is in bookstores now, so please do spread the word to anyone who enjoys high-quality film-related writing.
It was quite a thrill to see the book prominently displayed in the Bahrisons at the DLF mall, Saket yesterday, all the more so because I never experienced this pleasure with the Jaane bhi do Yaaro book. (No, don't ask why. You'd think there was greater promotional scope there, given that it was part of a series of film books that could have been marketed and displayed together. But we'll let that pass.)
[Both books are also on Flipkart, of course: here and here]
Bought both!!
ReplyDeleteHow/when can I get them autographaed?
Yes, availability of books in India is a bit of a challenge. Though I don't know WHY it is so.
Looks another interesting read. Ordered today on flipkart. I love the writings of Amitava Kumar. looking forward.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe we should wait a couple of months to chomp on the cold, mushy popcorns, but which come at a discount of 50% ;-).
ReplyDeleteOk, I am a philistine who's temporarily suffering from buyer's remorse. More so because thanks to my family members, I have yet to lay my hands on the JBDY book.
BTW, the JBDY book seems to have gotten good reviews. Congrats.
Sounds tempting! I'll think about it. Thanks for inspiration
