A writing manual as well as a manifesto, Every Day I Write the Book combines Amitava Kumar's practical writing advice with interviews with prominent writers, offering guidance and inspiration for academic writers at all levels.

Each heady affair brings new learning: about himself, and about his relationship to a country founded on immigration - a country that is now unsure of the migrant's place in the nation's fabric.

The twenty-six essays in Lunch With a Bigot are examples of how Amitava Kumar turns his observations of the world into words. A mix of memoir, reportage, thoughts on the craft of writing, and criticism, these essays tell broad stories of immigration, change, and a shift to a more globalized existence.

With tales of life in India and London and meditations on the form Indian fiction gives to the lives of those who read about it, this is a sweeping, passionate search to find one's own story.
