OESTE A MECCA

The first page of the Kindle looks like a bibliography for an South Asian studies course.  We've got:

Salar Abodh, Iranian American


Aatish Taseer, British/Indian/Pakistani


Tahmima Anam, Bangladeshi


Azhar Abidi, Pakistani Australian


Siddhartha Mukherjee, Indian American


And, best of all, Amitav Ghosh, Bengali Indian


I'm reading his Sea of Poppies, about, among other themes, the British opium trade in Calcutta.  
I think I'm going to be a Ghosh completist.

And where did I get the names of most of these authors?  http://wordswithoutborders.org/
