Slumdog Millionaire was a book first!

Have you seen Slumdog Millionaire, yet? (It's playing at CineCenter right now, under the name Quisiera ser millionario?) Did you know that it was based on a book by Vikas Swarup, called Q&A (that means "question and answer")? Sadly we do not have this book in the SCCS library, but Abebooks recommends 19 Other Indian Novels, if you've been bit by the bangra bug!

We have the following from the list:
God of Small Things, by Arundhati Roy
In a Free State, by V.S. Naipaul
Clear Light of Day, by Anita Desai

If you're interested in reading other titles from this list, please recommend them to the librarian. If you're interested in books by Indian authors, or about India, come to the library and we can find them!
