Gopal Lahiri acknowledges that a book review for him is an “evaluative judgement on the quality, ideas and meaning” of a book. Reviewing a book is at its core an act of close reading and expressing an opinion after the reading in order to help other prospective readers to get an idea about the book before reading it. The forty-four reviews of books ranging from poetry to fiction and non-fiction that Gopal Lahiri has brought here are remarkable specimen of that act. This volume of writing is a document of meta- literature, that is, literature about literature and will, hopefully, encourage the act of reviewing books.
