Revue de presse "Rushdie offers us a sweeping, birds' eye view of 50 years of good writing. He proves that there is an Indo-Anglian canon, and as he reaches our own time, he elects new contenders for future glory" (Aamer Hussein Independent)"For matters both literary and (in the broad sense) political, one of the most informative, as well as enjoyable, [books about India] is The Vintage Book of Indian Writing 1947-97... Rushdie's fine introduction to this compendium of contemporary Indian prose...digresses fascinatingly on polylingualism, identity and dislocation" (Independent on Sunday)"This is the most impressive regional anthology I've seen for years. But then India is an awfully big region. With a population of nearly a billion, you would expect some crackerjack writers in their midst. And here they are." (Iain Sharp The Sunday Star-Times (Auckland))

There's no such thing as the perfect murder ? This is the question sports agent Myron Bolitar asks himself when two FBI agents come looking for his former client and rival, Greg Downing. Greg's DNA has been found at the scene of a recent high-profile double murder, and he is now the FBI's main suspect. But that's impossible. Greg died three years ago. Myron went to his funeral and gave the eulogy. But why would someone frame a dead man for murder ? Or is Greg Downing still alive ? The more Myron digs into this mystery, the more dangerous his world becomes...
Résumé : A lawyer's advice to his children as he defends the real mockingbird of Harper Lee's classic novel - a black man charged with the rape of a white girl. Through the young eyes of Scout and Jem Finch, Harper Lee explores with exuberant humour the irrationality of adult attitudes to race and class in the Deep South of the 1930s. The conscience of a town steeped in prejudice, violence and hypocrisy is pricked by the stamina of one man's struggle for justice. But the weight of history will only tolerate so much.
