Lit Sutra – Brit writers in India

Books, Comics and cartoons, Conventions and events

Alastair kindly informs us that several British writers – China Mieville, Andy Diggle, Mark Billingham and Denise Mina -are all travelling to India this week. It’s part of the Lit Sutra programme of the British Council, “whose aim is to introduce the best British crime fiction, sf & fantasy, and graphic novel writers to the subcontinent.” Alastair tells me that we will be able to follow blog posts, images and audio via the Lit Sutra site and to start things off there’s also a nice treat in the form of an extract from China’s upcoming novel Kraken.
