With the #1 Indie Next Pick for January, the Good Morning America book club pick, and an appearance on the New York Times bestseller list, Age of Vice hits our top ten. The Hindustan Times offered a profile of the author, noting the book "captures the world of politics, patronage and power and is perhaps the only Indian novel to have been auctioned directly in Hollywood for a multimillion dollar TV deal."
Scott Simon talked to Kai Thomas on In the Upper Country on NPR Weekend Edition.

We're seeing a lot fewer movie tie-in editions and we're wondering if that is because a certain retailer who used to encourage them now does not. But it's hard not to have two editions of A Man Called Ove because the American-made version of the film is A Man Called Otto. And here's the thing - in 2023, why did you have to change the name that sounds foreign sounding?
