Bookless In Baghdad by Shashi Tharoor
A concise, eloquent collection of essays that mourns and celebrates the role of books and ideas in societies under strain, combining travel impressions of Baghdad and other locales with literary criticism, personal anecdotes and reflections on war, cultural loss and the responsibilities of writers and readers. Witty and erudite, the pieces argue that reading sustains memory and civic life even as conflict, censorship and neglect erase libraries, histories and public discourse.
