This month crime writers Lin Anderson and Doug Johnstone with Bloody Scotland chair Jenny Brown travelled to Kolkata to take part in the Literature Festival. We met writers, talked about translated literature and discussed the differences between Scottish and Indian crime fiction. The Festival is part of the huge Book Fair which attracts 2.5 million visitors. Big thanks to Esha Chatterjee of BEE Books and Artistic Director Sujata Sen for inviting us, and to British Council for making the visit possible.
