Shashi Tharoor, who has declined considerably since The Great Indian Novel apparently collected his choicest rants and published them in a book called Bookless in Baghdad. And Gayathri paid money (I presume) to read this. Interesting. I think I have a fair idea of who’ll cut me off tomorrow.

I kinda liked the way he dissed Kipling in The Great Indian Novel, and AB in show business. You could see something like that coming - he has a reservoir of talent, but it is unidimensional, so guess his frustration has gotten the better of him. Will wait for your review...

He alternates between bashing people he doesn't like (Shobha De, Nirad Chaudhury etc) and crowing about the cleverness of his earlier works! He also uses this book to point to the many subtle/clever (yes, that is the word!) references in The Great Indian Novel that his readers/critics didn't pick up on! I'm dying to do a long post re: BiB, but it'll have to wait till the weekend. I’m almost done reading Bookless in Baghdad by Tharoor.
