Pankaj MISHRA ... Butter Chicken in Ludhiana: Travels in Small Town India (Picador, 2007)

AN AMUSING and entertaining overview of small-town India and the sociocultural changes wrought by globalisation, Butter Chicken in Ludhiana: Travels in Small Town India, is Pankaj Mishra’s first book, first published in India in 1995. It was relaunched in the U.K. in 2007. I especially enjoy reading his literary essays. I am so looking forward to a collection of essays by this purveyor of wonderful literature.
