A fine review of this new book has appeared in Mint:
The intended readership of Writing Badly Is Easy may seem to be academics, students and those working towards joining the ranks of scholars, but Kumar’s approach, a combination of donnish table-talk and friendly advice over a drink, should appeal to anyone who has ever sat before a blank page and felt a surge of panic.
And this wonderful review by Vineet Gill in the Sunday Guardian.
Also, this interview with Mumbai Mid-Day. And this one with India Today. And this excellent long piece, a mix of review and interview, at Open Magazine.
Oh, and at a much later date, this one in Hindustan Times.
