Have wanted to read Warda for a while now but oooff it’s expensive (unsure why there isn’t an edition except the Yale press one available). Grew up in Oman, in Muscat, been to the Dhofar once and it’s so different from the rest of the country. You’d often find old RAF hands roaming around Muscat well into the 90s who’d participated in the crushing of the Dhofar rebellion. Hope someone does bring out a more affordable edition of the book in India!
That's incredibly generous of you (especially to lend it to a rando off the internet :D). Well, if I ever do make it north of the Vindhyas will try and take you up on that offer!
If you're in Delhi, you can DM me and I'll send you the Discord link, which will have the details.
I hope you will review Leila Lalani's 'Dream Hotel'. It hits very close to home.
Exhalation is one of my favourite sci-fi collections! How can I join in the Delhi Science Fiction Reading Circle?

Oh, if you're ever passing by Delhi, you're welcome to borrow my copy - my bookshelves pretty much work as a lending library for all my friends, heh.
