Sanjitha from BusinessWorld has been kind to me ever since she reviewed Sepia Leaves for their web site and this time she gave me an opportunity to write a review. I reviewed Geoff Dyer’s book Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi, published by Random House. It appears here …

Nilanjana had told me about a brilliant book by the same author called But Beautiful: A book about Jazz. Must read it soon. I am currently reading Michael Ondaatje’s Coming Through Slaughter, a documentary-style book on the life of cornet player Buddy Bolden, a jazz pioneer.
