We're in Ahmedabad right now meeting authors and researching the history of Gujarati pulp novels & magazines. Having an absolute blast.

Particularly amazing: The history of Chakram Chandan, a weekly Gujarati fiction & entertainment mag which ran for OVER 70 YEARS (1949-2021). Thriller writer HN "Atom" Golibar took over operations from his father, NJ Golibar, at age 15 (!), and ran it with NO ADS for decades.

Will be posting some vintage art finds and interviews soon!
