In an interview to discuss his recently released book ‘The Cooking of Books: A Literary Memoir’, which is about his 40-year friendship with the publisher Rukun Advani, Ramachandra Guha has spoken at length about how the unseen hand that made him the author he has become is that of Rukun Advani: “Had I not met Rukun Advani … I would probably not have become a published author … had he not befriended and guided me … my move from social history to biography would surely have been more tortured and less satisfying. Had I not had Rukun to instruct and encourage me I may never have thought of writing books on cricket.” Join The Wire's Youtube Membership and get exclusive content, member-only emojis, live interaction with The Wire's founders, editors and reporters and much more.
