Playing by Melanie Abrams
My review of Melanie Abrams first novel, Playing, has just run in Mint.
There, Abrams talks about what it’s like to write a novel that contains heavy dollops of S&M and an Indian character who figures prominently in that story line, when you happen to be married to a well known Indian literary figure - Vikram Chandra - and also married into a very filmi family.
Abrams and Chandra welcomed their first child, daughter Leela Sidney Chandra, into the world on May 6. More on Abrams filmi details here.

Hi Joseph,
If you click on “My review” at the start of the post it takes you to the story, which was a review with some quotes from an interview I did with her.
On the site, I believe it’s been up as long as the paper has been in existence (Feb 2007).
