One book I strongly recommend that you certainly won't get abroad is an anthology named "Tamil Pulp Fiction" brought out by a small Chennai publishing house named Blaft. As the name indicates, it is an anthology of popular Tamil pulp fiction, and is absolutely outstanding. Take copies for friends also, I would say -- Indians abroad should especially love it. -- Amit Varma http://www.indiauncut.com
