"books i love" is an author-interview podcast hosted by Indian writer and storyteller Janice Pariat. The literary "picks" are guided by her experience of "wishing to ask the author a million questions after finishing their book", and the show features recently published fiction and non-fiction, from India and beyond, read and loved. The discussion centres around books and writing, and given the questions are crafted with a practitioner's care, this makes the podcast especially insightful for aspiring writers, though of interest for anyone keen to explore the vibrant landscape of contemporary Indian literature in English. Janice will occasionally be joined by her cat, Vincent, who often insists on making his presence, and opinions, heard during the show.
