Reviews for Notes From Another India
'Describes an India so particular, so far off the beaten track, and so actual that, in his painstaking reconstruction of scenes, Seabrook's careful listening and reporting of people's words, and his lucid exposition of present-day realities, he succeeds where so many have failed and tells us a great deal about what is happening in India today.'
