Amitav Ghosh has a Goa link now, and even the rare Goan trader of the
past (like Roger Faria) had opium links! FN
Opium and Empire
Historical Novelist Amitav Ghosh in conversation with Kwame Anthony
Appiah on Ghosh's new novel, Sea of Poppies
NEW YORK, December 15, 2008 - Great Britain's 19th-century opium
trade, and its wide-ranging impact, became a central topic of
conversation between novelist Amitav Ghosh and Princeton philosopher
and cultural theorist Kwame Anthony Appiah when the two sat down
together at Asia Society to discuss Ghosh's new novel, Sea of Poppies.
Short-listed for the Booker Prize, and the first volume of a projected
trilogy, the novel is a sweeping historical epic following the voyage
of the Ibis, a ship transporting Indian coolies, criminals, and opium
to Mauritius in 1838.
