<\/b>Amitav Ghosh’s education spans from Dehradun to Oxford. For a short time he worked at The Indian Express and it was while he was studying at Oxford that he wrote his first book The Circle of Reason. From then, his writing career blossomed and his books have been translated into over twenty languages. Almost every book he has penned has won an award. He is probably the first cli-fi writer India has produced- his fascination for the sea,\u00a0 human history and migration make his novels complex, educational and must-reads. Ghosh’s writing veers on the non-fictional even when he writes fiction.\u00a0 A book that many readers I have spoken to love is The Hungry Tide<\/a>, The Ibis Trilogy<\/a>, The Glass Palace<\/a>, Shadow Lines <\/em>and Calcutta Chromosome<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n![\"Jhumpa](\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/6\/60\/Jhumpa_Lahiri_%282015%29.png\/220px-Jhumpa_Lahiri_%282015%29.png\")
