Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Upamanyu Chatterjee (born 1959) is an Indian Bengali author and administrator, notable for his work set in the milieu of the Indian Administrative Service, especially his novel English, August. Born in Patna, Bihar, Chatterjee was educated at St. Xavier''s School and St. Stephen''s College, in Delhi. He joined the Indian Administrative Service in 1983. Chatterjee has written a handful of short stories of which "The Assassination of Indira Gandhi" and "Watching Them" are particularly noteworthy. His best-selling novel, English, August : An Indian story (subsequently made into a major film), was published in 1988 and has since been reprinted several times. A review in Punch described the book as "Beautifully written English, August is a marvelously intelligent and entertaining novel, and especially for anyone curious about modern India". The novel follows Agastya Sen - a young westernized Indian civil servant whose imagination is dominated by women, literature and soft drugs.
