I am really sorry because i could not write crazy Carl next Sunday because my xams are starting. To make for it i will write on the 31 first. Anyway i am writing this one to tell you about the coming books in 2010.
2009 was a year for graphic novels and popular authors like Dan Brown, Stephenie Meyer, Chetan Bhagat. 2010 will bring more books by other authors. in a range of non fiction, fiction and childrean alike.
we will start with the debutants in fiction category:
Homeboy by H M Naqvi is a book about a young Pakistani in post 9/11 period. We have seen many writers writing in post 9/11 as background. Maybe it's a good and easy catch for writers but I personally think it's lot boring when authors are stuck on the same thing. Serious Men by Manu Joseph is set in Mumbai which is also an usual an usual place. Sarita Mandanna's Tiger Hills is set in Coorg (a city or maybe an town, village in India, who cares!) which is a romantic saga, goof off! i don't care a damn about romance thingy, and so i don't care to touch this book. Then comes Saraswati Park by someone called Anjali Joseph (sister of Manu Joseph?) which focuses on middle Mumbai, again Mumbai!
well, sorry have to go. I will continue tommorow. Bye.
