Afternoon Girl my KHUSHWANT memoir (HarperCollins)
Hilarious! Scandalous! Salacious!
A brief encounter between a young gynecologist (and aspiring writer) and one of the most celebrated and enigmatic authors of our time sows the seed of an unusual friendship that is fuelled as much by their afternoon meetings over a few decades as the letters and ribald jokes they exchange. Afternoon Girl celebrates a friendship that swings between love and loathing, adoration and indifference, support and abandonment, but stands the test of time.
