More Malicious Gossip
In this book The first section starts with Khushwant turning the telescope on himself. This piece has been written special for this book. The rest of the section includes candid portraits of people, most of whom have been in the public eye. There are three pieces on Zail Singh, and two on Rajiv Gandhi written at different times, they reflect changed opinions and circumstance.
The second part is a travelogue of Khushwant's visits to various parts of India and abroad. Since he travels fairly extensively and usually not merely on business, confined to hotel rooms, these pieces bring you the feel, the smell, the sights and the legends surrounding cities.
The third part includes a selection of Khushwant's writings on some of the burning issues of our time the menace of communalism and terrorism, the immolation of brides, the death penalty. Some merely state facts while others offer solutions.
