Novelist and Poet Benaroya Hall May 13, 1999 Biography Excerpt Selected Works Links Biography Since the publication of his first book of poems, Mappings (1980), Vikram Seth has demonstrated remarkable literary dexterity and imagination, writing ten books that differ distinctly in style and content. His fascinating oeuvre includes three collections of poetry, a novel-in-verse, fables, a libretto, translations of ancient Chinese poets, a travelogue, and two prose novels. Best known in the United States for Suitable Boy (1993), which at 1,349 pages holds the distinction of being the single longest novel published in the English language, Seth has now written his first conventional novel, in terms of length and narrative style. Early on, he asserted his intent to keep this novel to a traditional length, stating: "for every ten thousand words over a hundred thousand, I will chop off a digit." Vikram Seth was born in Calcutta in 1952. His father was in the shoe business, his mother a judge. After his early education in India, he took his undergraduate degree in philosophy, politics, and economics from Oxford University, and was a graduate student at Stanford and Nanjing universities, where he studied the economic demography of China. Seth is a fascinating polymath who has been led by his literary passions on a very "wavy" career path. While at Stanford, he detoured from grad school in economics to master Chinese and ended up translating Chinese poetry. After two years at Nanjing University, Seth hitchhiked home to New Delhi via Tibet. Fluent in Chinese and garbed in the traditional blue trousers, jacket, and visored cap, he recorded his astute observations and candid conversations in

WORLD-WIDE ASIAN-EURASIAN HUMAN RIGHTS FORUM Vikram Seth - Bangladesh and England Written on December 21st, 2005 in World People From the author of A Suitable Boy , this masterful fusion of memoir, biography and history creates an extraordinary tapestry of India, the Third Reich and the Second World War, Auschwitz and the Holocaust, Israel and Palestine, post-war Germany and 1970s Britain. Vikram Seth - Bangladesh and England A childless couple living in England—Henny, a German-Jew who fled Hitler’s Germany, and Shanti from the Raj’s India—take in their grand nephew Vikram Seth. Simon Winchester. This interview with AsiaSource was conducted while Seth was in New York for a Meet the Author program at the Asia Society on November 16, 2005. Interview conducted by Nermeen Shaikh of AsiaSource : Vikram Seth - Two Lives. In an interview to The Guardian recently you have said that each of your books has “come about because it could not not have been written.” You say that your writing has announced itself to you with an urgency you could not resist. Could you elaborate on this? Is this impulse what compelled you to begin a career in writing? In this particular case, in the case of Two Lives, I was taken by the narrative after the discovery of a set of letters that my great-aunt had written that gave the story a kind of depth, a perspective, an intimacy, and a kind of psychological and moral connection, in terms of decision-making in times of great stress, apart from its human interest, which was considerable. But as far as my three novels are concerned, in each case, there was an impulse. In one case because I had read a novel in verse, which inspired me to write my own, and that was The Golden Gate. In one case because I heard a snippet of conversation: “You too will marry a boy I choose,” which germinated the book, A Suitable Boy. And in the case of An Equal Music, despite its subject matter, its inspiration was very non-musical: just watching someone stare at the water of the Serpentine very intently and wondering what on earth his thoughts were.

Classifieds Editor: Vikram Seth 20 Oct 2005, 2241 hrs IST TNN Print Save EMail Write to Editor It all began with a chance remark a week ago. In the midst of an interview, Vikram Seth — genre-hopper; author of the mega-selling, wriststraining 'A Suitable Boy'; litterateur who's been compared by critics to the likes of Pushkin and Tolstoy — made an observation. "I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books. There's too much reading, and too little thinking. And yes, sometimes, I do wonder about the priorities of newspapers." We leapt at the opening.Would Seth like to bring out 'The Times of India' for a day, according to his priorities, we asked. What would that entail, he queried. "Oh, commission stories, look at the news list, decide what should go on the front page and how prominently it should be displayed," we responded. "For every edition of the TOI?" he enquired. Absolutely. "And you wouldn't veto anything I wanted done?" No, we assured him.

Its one of the most Voluminous books in literature and i honestly doubt how many people would have read it through end to end.Its way huge.But the wonderful thing is at no point while reading do you really regret its length..cause it does not drag, its pacy and moves in every page.
