What I offered.
A little while back, striving to introduce narrative-rigor into my choppy blog voice, I tried to write a piece for the travel site BootsnAll.com.
Drawing heavily from observations made here and doodly notes, I compiled something I'd hoped read as a loosely-joined series of lyrical a-lightings across the sub-continent. The editors of Bootsnall were not lyrically set-alit and beside taking a heavy editing hand to the piece, they also roundly told-me off for thinking myself bigger than narrative conventions.
Here's what ended up going live - my India grab-bag: Pieces of India on Bootsnall.
(Mea culpas made, I do challenge anyone to "write" India as something that could be consecutive...)
c - admittedly not that linear in the west either
