    Raph and Nikhil talk to novelist and critic Anjum Hasan about Anita Desai's In Custody (1984) and Dag Solstad's Shyness and Dignity (1994, tr. Sverre Lyngstad 2006).


    Errata: We give the wrong date of publication for both books at points during the episode. In Custody was published not in 1988 but 1984; Shyness and Dignity was published not in 1999 but 1994. At 5:48, when Anjum Hasan talks about the Urdu language’s relationship with the Indian state, the sentence should have been ‘Urdu is not patronised to the extent that Hindi is’.
