My friend Amit's Varma's first novel My Friend, Sancho is so much fun to read. I read a draft of it in one sitting, and read it again, straight through, yesterday when I recieved a copy of the book. If you're in Bombay this weekend do come by to celebrate the launch of the book on May 9 at the Crossword in Juhu (next to Chandan cinema). If you're in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai or Bangalore, you'll be able to attend the book launch in your own city; details here. If you'd like to read a sample of the 2007 Man Asian Literary Prize-longlisted novel, Mid Day carried an exclusive excerpt that can be read here. And an interview with Amit, here.
