    Let's be real, though, the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi really is overwhelming, between the fingerprinting and the guns and the threat of closed airspace.

    There is something I love about creating a trilogy of the same story from different perspectives. It truly makes the reader determine and question what they believe by engaging with the material.
    And alongside the Reddit posts, Im excited to see all the UA-cam Documentaries about “Does (Perspective A/B/C) Make You a (Mental Disorder)?” Can’t wait to see those conversations

    I heard a radio interview with him on Monday , February 4 , 2019 from a CBC interview done by Tom Power for a show called " Q " . People should try to get a copy of that . It was much more gritty and enlightening than this interview . ( I am not criticising Seth . The formats are different . )

    What a charming guy. I got totally immersed in A Brief History of Seven Killings when it came out. That one too seems like ripe material for a long form series.

    And as an Indian, Marlon, we grant you a pass - that airport really does suck.

      Jaq Tweedie Not really some readers do experience buying books and a couple or more years later of never picking the books up to read; they come to the conclusion that they probably won’t as interest has been lost. In fact I’ve heard booktubers talk about this.
