Question
editWhat does this mean "is a 1986 batch Indian Foreign Service bureaucrat", especially the word batch? --Ufinne (talk) 22:31, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Six Questions
editFor anyone writing the article:
"Q: The second novel, ‘‘Six Suspects,’’ seems like a nod to Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot, plotted like a guess-the-murderer whodunit.
A: No, neither of those, not at all. I had read “Cloud Atlas,” by David Mitchell, a series of six stories that suddenly stop. I liked the conceit of that, and I tried for something similar, with an overarching narrative that ties everything together. I was trying to punch the boundaries of the murder mystery. I’m a sucker for the genre."[1]
