Shashi Tharoor is one of India’s greatest living writers. In the course of a career that has lasted more than half a century (his first short story made it into print when he was ten), he has published over five million words in books, newspapers, magazines, journals, and online media on a variety of subjects. Pride, Prejudice, and Punditry brings together the very best fiction, non-fiction, and poetry from his published books and journalism as well as many pieces that have been written specially for this volume. There are ten sections in the book, each devoted to a particular topic. * ‘In the Company of Giants’ looks at some of the most important figures of modern Indian history * ‘Into the Maelstrom of Indian Politics’ contains work on the Indian political scene * ‘Our Unruly World’ covers international relations and diplomacy * ‘The Hindu Way’ examines various aspects of the faith * ‘Musings of a Cricket Tragic’ includes some of his finest writing on the sport * ‘You Cannot Be Serious!’ is a light-hearted take on sundry matters * ‘Fragments of an Autobiography’ has poignant essays about his parents and an evocative look at his Kerala heritage * ‘The Spoken Word’ is a selection of his most famous speeches * ‘The Writerly Life’ comprises ruminations on writing and writers * ‘Selected Fiction and Poetry’ showcases his masterpieces of fiction and poetry. This book will give those new to the author’s work a panoramic view of the range and depth of his writing. Long-time fans will find fresh material to delight them as also ageless pieces that continue to enchant. Dazzling, inventive, and exuberant, Pride, Prejudice, and Punditry presents readers with the essential work of a literary genius.
