Penguin 20 in India
The past decade has seen an explosion of Indian writing in English and foreigners writing about India. As would be expected, some of it is excellent, most of it of middling quality and some frankly bad, notes Business Standard.
It goes to Penguin India’s credit that most of the books it has published have fallen in the top two categories and that, barring a brief period of bad proof-reading, its reputation has not suffered greatly from its growing productivity or the departure of its former chief David Davidar to Penguin Books’ Canadian outfit.
In that sense, this three-volume collection of its non-fiction writing — a companion to a three-volume set of fiction writing — is a justified celebration of the 20th anniversary of this publishing house.
