Bashabi Fraser
BASHABI FRASER was born in West Bengal in India. Her books include Just One Diwali Night, Tartan & Turban, Topsy Turvy & A Meeting of Two Minds, Geddes Tagore Letters and From The Ganga to The Tay. Her special interest is in the life stories of Scots in India which makes her an unconventional but intriguing choice for Burns Night at the Bakehouse and introduces our ‘Homelands’ series (more info on www.thebakehouse.info) with a hint of curry in our haggis!
‘In the art of Bashabi Fraser the cultures of India and Scotland richly blend, and in this magnificent poem the two living traditions speak to each other through the riverine oracles of the Ganges and the Tay.’ RICHARD HOLLOWAY
‘A rich blend of mythical, historical and geographical storytelling, her work explores aspects of India and Scotland from a radically unusual perspective, paying tribute to the close links between both post-colonial nations.’ MARIO RELICH
