Year End

I can't believe I've made it on to a year-end list. Manjushree Thapa said this in her Best Fiction article in ekantipur.com:

"So much of the English literature coming out of India today is marred by its authors’ inability to take pleasure in language. (Which, if you think about it, is quite self-defeating.) If It Is Sweet by Mridula Koshy is an important corrective to this. Every story of this collection shines like a cut-and-polished gemstone lodged in the finest of settings."

It's past the year-end, but I'll have my list out soon.
