The door bell rang a few minutes back. UPS had a package for me. The kind folks at Alfred A. Knopf had sent me a review copy of Suketu Mehta‘s new book – Maximum City. I can't wait to get into it.
Coincidentally, a few weeks ago, Penguin Books India, mailed me a copy of Bombay, meri jaan, writings on Mumbai. Edited by Jerry Pinto and Naresh Fernandes, the book contains short articles by the usual suspects: Pico Iyer, Salman Rushdie, V. S. Naipaul, Paul Theroux and Khuswant Singh. But it has a few surprises in Sunil Gavaskar and Duke Ellington.
I'll have a review of both books here as soon [Warning: I am one heckuva slow reader!]

I can’t wait to read your reviews, and also–how does one get in on the publisher free-copy love? :-)
