	1	Salman Rushdie, Siddhartha Deb, Kiran Desai, Nikita Lalwani, Vikram Seth, Nalini Jones, Aman Sethi, Shobaa De, Sunil Gangopadhyay, Amit Chaudhuri, Jaspreet Singh, William Dalrymple, Sonia Faleiro, Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi, CS Lakshmi, and Mukul Kesavan AIDS Sutra: Untold Stories from India New Delhi, India; Random House India; 2008; 8184000391 / 9788184000399; First Edition; Hardcover; New, New Negar Akhavi India is home to almost three million HIV cases. But AIDS is still a disease stigmatized and shrouded in denial. It is stigma that prevents people from openly discussing the facts around HIV, and keeps them from getting treatment. Stigma leads to discrimination against HIV positive people in hospitals, schools and even among families. In this ground-breaking anthology, sixteen of India’s well-known writers go on the road to tell the human story behind the epidemic. William Dalrymple meets the devadasis (‘temple women’), many of whom have become victims of HIV; Kiran Desai travels to the coast of Andhra where the sex workers are considered the most desirable and Salman Rushdie spends a day with Mumbai's transgenders. These writers travel the country to talk to housewives, vigilantes, homosexuals, police and sex-workers and together they create a complex and gripping picture of AIDS in India: who it is affecting, how and why. Eye-opening, hard-hitting and moving, AIDS Sutra will show you a side to India rarely seen before. Printed Pages: 344 with numerous b/w illustrations. Price: 9.95 USD

	2	*Vikram Seth* Two Lives New Delhi, India; Penguin/Viking; 2005; 0670-05836-X / 9780670058365; First Edition; Hard Cover; New, New Shanti Behari Seth was born on the eighth day of the eighth month in the eighth year of the twentieth century; he died two years before its close. He was brought up in India in the late years of the Raj, and was sent by his family in the 1930s to Berlin—though he could not speak a word of German—to study medicine and dentistry. It was here, before he migrated to Britain, that Shanti’s path first crossed that of his future wife. Henny Gerda Caro was also born in 1908, in Berlin, to a Jewish family, cultured, patriotic and intensely German. When the family decided to have Shanti as a lodger, Henny’s first reaction was, ‘Don’t take the black man!’ But a friendship flowered, and when Henny fled Hitler’s Germany for England, just one month before the war broke out, she was met at Victoria Station by the only person she knew in the country: Shanti. Vikram Seth has woven together their astonishing story: the war that took Shanti to North Africa, the Middle East and the battle of Monte Cassino, where his right arm was blown off; the persecution that saw Henny desperately searching for news of the mother and sister she had left behind; the love that sparked their marriage in 1951; the courage that inspired Shanti to defy his injury and set up once again in his profession; the arrival into this childless couple’s lives of their great-nephew from India—the teenage student, Vikram Seth. The result is an extraordinary tapestry of India, the Third Reich and the Second World War, Auschwitz and the Holocaust, Israel and Palestine, postwar Germany and 1970s Britain. Two Lives is both a history of a violent country seen through the eyes of two survivors as well as an intimate portrait of their friendship, marriage and abiding yet complex love. Part biography, part memoir, part meditation on our times, this is the true tale of two remarkable lives—a masterful telling from one of our greatest living writers. Printed Pages: 512. Price: 15.75 USD
