Namjoshi is a fabulous writer (she writes fables!) My copies of her books are worn to pieces, She is one of the wisest writers I know.

Her discussion of writing for/about children

and what she's trying to do and why, really makes me want to read her stuff - I can't believe I never ran across her before. (Well, I can, given Yank provincialism, but still.) She sounds very, very cool and with quite a grand perspective on the cosmos.

You'll be interested in my next post, too, which should go up tonight or tomorrow sometime after I finish cleaning up all the links - there's some amazingly-tangled new/old stuff about the socio-economics of the Opium Wars and how it fits in with the rest of the Raj now, which fell into my inbox a little while ago...
