Raja Sen

Author & Film Critic, India

Raja Sen is one of India’s most outspoken film and television critics. He counts Vikram Seth as a major influence, and, swayed by Seth’s verse novel A Golden Gate, once wrote a dissertation paper for his Master’s Degree entirely in sonnets. Sen’s first book, The Best Baker In The World, is an illustrated all-ages adaptation of The Godfather, written in limericks. He remains deeply besotted with A Suitable Boy, and has been spending the season reading it out aloud to his wife.
