Shashi Tharoor launches his 23rd book: Pride, Prejudice and Punditry
Nearly 40 years after the launch of his Reasons of State, author and Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor launched his 23rd book: Pride, Prejudice and Punditry in Hyderabad.
“I am a former UN official. I am a former minister. I may become former MP, but I hope I will never become a former writer,” said Mr. Tharoor in conversation with former anchor Nidhi Razdan at a city hotel.
The book is compilation of some of his earlier writings as well as a few commissioned pieces. “My first story was published when I was 10. I have been writing since then,” said Mr. Tharoor. “Writing non-fiction is easier for me in the line of my work as I can pick up the pieces even with many distractions that come with political life,” said Mr Tharoor while extolling the delights of writing fiction.
