INTO THE DARKNESS: ASIAN CRIME FICTION
With Diane Wei Lang, Hirsh Sawhney, Glen Peters and Boyd Tonkin
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.
