Monday, 17 May 2010, 6.45 pm, Asia House

Each day, Chinese and Indian newspapers are full of alarming stories of corruption, robbery and contract killings- indications of the increasing disparity between rich and poor in these unevenly developing societies. The legendary cities of Beijing, Delhi and Calcutta provide a fertile ground for these tales of darkness. Diane Wei Liang’s, Glen Peters’ and Hirsh Sawhney’s crime novels look at the side of ‘new Asia’ that defies romantic stereotypes.
