A New Indian Author On The Block

She’s Hyderabad-born, was an environmental attorney for Massachusetts for a decade, has served as the deputy general counsel for the Massachusetts Executive Office of Environmental Affairs and is also the Massachusetts legislative coordinator for Amnesty International USA.

Oh, and one of her short stories was selected by guest editor Michael Chabon for The Best American Short Stories 2005. (Not bad, considering David Bezmozgis' stellar "Natasha" is among the other stories in the collection.)
