		There's humor in all of Rau Badami's description and a clear enough ring of authenticity that one doesn't need to wonder why she chose to set her story in a fictional, rather than a real, town.
		Anita Rau Badami is an accomplished novelist and a confident storyteller.

	Salon.com Books \| "The Hero's Walk" by Anita Rau Badami
		In Anita Rau Badami's second novel, "The Hero's Walk," the disappointment that hangs over the characters is like the heat that chokes the Indian town, Toturpuram, in which they live: It's so oppressive that only something as brutally triumphant and all-consuming as a monsoon can free them from it.
		Badami, however, lights each of them with small hopes; their tongues lash out with startling irreverence and emotion, but the novel never staggers under the weight of melancholy.
		Although she tells a compelling story, Badami succeeds even more in her lush evocations of Indian life in "The Hero's Walk," which won the 2000 Commonwealth Prize for fiction.
