May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss
by Arnab Ray

The wave of liberalization in the 1990s changed forever the face of India. It bolstered the economy. It raised the stock index. It raised hem lines of skirts even more. It led to the growth of the fashion police. And also the moral police. Numbered items became item numbers. To the twenty-two scheduled languages were added C, Cobol, Java. You were either watching sitcoms or starting dotcoms. News became entertainment. Entertainment became news. Terror struck the country -- sometimes in the form of gunmen from across the border and sometimes in the form of Bollywood movies.

If I Could Tell You
by Soumya Bhattacharya

An unnamed narrator writes a series of letters to his daughter, explaining how his life has gone wrong. The letters, spanning the narrator's life in India and England, from the 1970s till the stock market crash of 2008 and having as their unwavering focus his daughter and the relationship between them, speak of mislaid dreams and trust betrayed.
In prose of extraordinary beauty and power, Soumya Bhattacharya crafts a story of longing, love and loss. It is a story of about how luck and chance and a twist in events can irrevocably alter our lives, a story of how love can lead to catastrophe, and, ultimately, a story about the new India, and how its economy can make, and then break a man who always wanted to be no more — and no less — than a writer.
Haunting and tender, this is a remarkable novel from one of the most distinctive voices of his generation
