In a novel by an author with this last name, the villagers think that the main character will grow up to be a great man because his birth coincided with a drought ending and a Red Cross airdrop. In another novel by an author with this last name, a retired judge shows his disdain for his native country by eating chapatis with a knife and a fork. That novel by an author with this last name juxtaposes the converging experiences of the mountain-dwelling (*) Sai and the Manhattan resident Biju. Another novel by an author with this last name centers on Sampath Chawla climbing up a tree in the title location and acting as a clairvoyant “holy man.” This is the last name of the author of the Booker Prize-winning novel The Inheritance of Loss (10[2])and Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. For 10 points, give this last name shared by an Indian author with the first name Kiran and her mother Anita. ■END■
