Re: What are you reading?
his style is interesting, but somehow I feel that he got preconceived ideas about Muslims and he bases his conclusions on that (though he claimed that he didn’t know much about Muslims, before visiting these four Muslim countries).
Anyway, I left Naipaul in Iran and started Amitav Gosh’s ‘The shadow lines’.
The Shadow Lines by Amitav Ghosh | Goodreads
Its getting interesting as the story moves. I found it slow, but the story telling was superb, so I kept on reading it and now the characters have developed to a point where I want to know more about them.
Have you read any of Amitav’s books?
Sir Naipaul is Feeler’s writer, not a thinker’s writer. He feels and he writes, According to me this is the best about him, feeler, critical and writer,he is the best non-fiction writer I ever came across
No idea of Amitav Ghiosh’s books
