A review of A Blue Hand: The Beats in India. I had no idea that India had this kind of influence on the Beats (specifically Ginsberg), although it's not surprising. Sounds like an interesting read.
Quoted: Fifteen months in India in the early 1960s had a lasting influence on American poet Allen Ginsberg.

A new line of Indian comics actually seems to be doing pretty well in both India and the US.
Quoted: "The overarching theme behind Virgin comics is reinterpreting classic Indian stories and making them relevant to today's youth," said Sharad Devarajan, CEO and Publisher, at the launch of the company's first comics (Devi, The Sadhu, Snakewoman and Ramayan Reborn). "Comics like Amar Chitra Katha have not evolved artistically or story-wise. The present generation doesn't want to hear the same stories all over again."

I'm a big fan of this book too! Very simple writing style... deceptively powerful! She's a great narrator - it feels like you're just listening to someone tell you a story...
