Interview: Vikas Swarup reads, writes and travels like crazy

Mon, 03/12/2012 - 23:12 — Anonymous by Samantha LeeseStreet knowledge is
more important than book knowledge for Vikas Swarup. In 2008, Vikas Swarup's
debut novel, "Q&A," was adapted into the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog

Osaka-Kobe, Swarup has been variously posted in Turkey, the U.S., Ethiopia,
Britian and South Africa. read more
