Stumbled across Meena Alexander's website and her oeuvre of works and am amazed to read about her achievements. I am reading her novel Manhattan Music and find most interesting for her description of Thiruvalla and thereabouts, where my own mother hailed from. She has this languid style that follows a thought process and virtually enters the reader's consciousness so engagingly. I met her once in Bombai but don't know if she remembers me.
