The Blaft Anthology of Tamil Pulp Fiction (Volume 1)  (English, Paperback, Pritham K.Chakravarthy)

Mad scientists! Hard-boiled detectives! Vengeful goddesses! Murderous robots! Scandalous starlets! Drug-fuelled love affairs! This anthology features seventeen stories by ten best-selling authors of Tamil crime, romance, science fiction, and detective stories, none of them ever before translated into English, along with reproductions of wacky cover art and question-and-answer sessions with some of the authors. Grab a masala vadai, sit back and enjoy! As we draw near the end of 2008, I see this anthology as possibly the most significant contribution to Indian writing this year. Vijay Nambisan, Deccan Herald There are two reasons to buy this book.One, its a wonderful read and two, its the best- produced paperback in the history of Indian Publishing. Mukul Kesavan, Outlook
