I never use this forum for complaints, but since several scholars are facing this this out let me share just how ridiculous @FedExIndia and GOI requirements @PiyushGoyal for receiving books from abroad are becoming. This is crazy regulation in miniature. A publisher sent me a book. Notice arrives weeks later that book is being returned for incomplete KYC. 1/3

"...I don’t think there is anybody out there in Tamil Nadu going crazy about my stories exactly!"

In this #citiesinfiction interview CS Lakshmi (Ambai) tells us about the cities she's lived in, literary journal scene of 70s Tamil Nadu and the novel that inspired her nom de plume. I LOVE her books. Hope with this interview you find her work too.
