Diplomatic Tales.

Kiran Desai

Few writers have ever done violence to the IFS code of diplomatic silence; Three-volume memoirs in turgid prose are too often all the public knows of the secret histories of the corps diplomatic and who buried which skeletons in what attic. It takes an insider to sit back and tell the true story of Akbar Swell who when forced by a booze-free country to pine turned sour grapes into purple wine; and most of us would never have guessed that a gem-rich bargain would have been blessed not so much by cunning, skill and dispatch as by – an Indo-Pak cricket match.
