PRIDE PREJUDICE AND PUNDITRY THE ESSENTIAL by SHASHI THAROOR

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.
