Amitav Ghosh is one of India's most eminent literary voices. The wide array of themes, times and places covered in his narratives deserves critical attention. The author's interest in science, anthropology, historiography, and the travelling of people and ideas suggest an approach which highlights the concern with border-crossings and the excavation of 'other' histories.
