Nothing to be proud about being good at your masters language There I saved every one the trouble.

Good job! Bengalis and their literary skills! And if thats not enough he happens to be a cancer physician and a Rhodes Scholar

It is non-fiction. So I guess it's more about the content than the narration, which needs the mastery over babu's language.

Interestingly His book is called "The Emperor of All Maladies" and Jumpa Lahiri's Pulitzer winning book is called "Interpreter of Maladies" .
