for Deepa Anappara on books set in India: I recently read a crime novel based in Mumbai and was a little irritated that every Hindi word was translated, every festival or cultural quirk explained. Then I found a Goodreads review that complained the book had too many "ethnic names and phrases" and understood, if not agreed with, why the author did that.
Jonathan- I’ve heard from some of my friends that American Fiction is really great. The only thing is that it was a source of some people’s relationship conflict. Which is making me ponder before I watch. I appreciate this prompt.
