Amish Tripathi

The Strand

Available for over a year

Amish Tripathi, India's newest publishing phenomenon, tells us about how his just completed trilogy about Lord Shiva led to the largest book advance ever paid by an Indian publisher. A new Hollywood war film out this week starring Tommy Lee Jones as General Douglas MacArthur is no macho tale of allied heroics but a thoughtful look at the days after Japan's surrender at the end of World War II. As Ghana celebrates its inaugural Music Week event, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Samuel Darko tells us more about what the festival hopes to achieve. (Image: Amish Tripathi)
