I had read a good review about it earlier somewhere. But i will still try and read it. <br />@Rek, there are several Indian authors that are brilliant. you just have to look beyond the cheap/bestselling types to discover them. For example: Ghosh, Kiran Desai, Rohinton Mistry, Salman rushdie, Siddhant Dhanwant Sanghvi, RK Narayan, Ruskin Bond, Bapsi Sidhwa, Anita Desai, and so many more.Aakanksha Singhhttp://www.bookrviewsgalore.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353359469448382121.post-50445123051855011742012-01-05T23:00:16.392+05:302012-01-05T23:00:16.392+05:30I have read many great reviews of The Inscrutable ...I have read many great reviews of The Inscrutable Americans; haven't read it myself, but I wanted to... what you've described, makes the book seem so painfully shallow, that I'm re-thinking the reading it!Priyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671631876416310280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353359469448382121.post-89276324381371924272011-12-27T20:23:11.631+05:302011-12-27T20:23:11.631+05:30Agreed.
