The Edinburgh Review goes to India

The Edinburgh Review has released its latest issue ... called 'Calcutta Connects', it runs with an Indian theme. Some fine essays on the city, and a charming biography of a Miss Plumb.

If you're in Edinburgh on Thursday, head along to Blackwell's at 6.30 for the official launch.

And if you're not, treat yourself to a subscription. You'll find my own story 'India, by design', the third in a sequence about Arnold, on page 89. An upbeat gay life story, it's told in seven year leaps. The tale of Arnold's twenty-first birthday party is linked from my Stories page. There you'll see how he meets Pete. The opening of this new story has Pete come to collect Arnold from a mountainside in India.

(Sadly things are awry in Calcutta's own bookworld, where the Literary Saloon points out no books are available at the Kolkata Book Fair.)

Hi,
My name is Harry Finley and I urgently need to contact Brina Katz, whom you mentioned on your blog. The Jewish Museum in Vienna, Austria, wants permission to show her picture Lilith in an exhibit. The picture is on my Web site, mum.org. Could you ask her to e-mail me at [email protected]?

Thanks very much,

Harry Finley
