He is an artist, a creator of sorts - a muse of ideas and revolution... ofcourse, he fell short of the persona projected, because that projection is from you and me. Disappointed he isn't the ONE?

I will be interviewing him on American radio on June 6 for a new program called Open Source. See: http://www.radioopensource.org/<BR/><BR/>We regard him highly as an observer of empires old and new--a cautionary voice of the wide world and a deeply insightful critic of the US these days.<BR/><BR/>Could you give me a bit of guidance to the literary and political blogosphere in your neck of the woods? Do you know of people who would join a conversation on the radio or on our blog site on the general subject of Amitav Ghosh?<BR/><BR/>With admiration for your blog,<BR/><BR/>Christopher LydonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
