01 Nov / AIDS Sutra: Hidden Stories from India edited by Negar Akhavi [in Bloomsbury Review]

AIDS SutraA harrowing anthology, comprised of 16 essays by some of the best writers of the international Indian diaspora, vividly explores the ravages of a too-fast growing AIDS community across India. Nikita Lalwani writes about a kind, caring doctor living with HIV, Kirin Desai travels to Andhra Pradesh to meet the most high class, desirable sex workers that allegedly attract “film stars and even Americans,” Salman Rushdie captures the life of hijras – biological hermaphrodites, and Shobhaa De remembers her faithful driver who died of AIDS.
