Indian Writer Anita Desai Finds New Focus in Mexico
Anita Desai's work has been short listed for the Booker Prize several times. Her work has dealt mostly with the emotional woes of India's middle class, but her new book, The Zig Zag Way is set in Mexico, where the writer spent some time after she moved to the U.S. Desai says India and Mexico share similar histories and culture and she found her visit there particularly inspiring.
