Katherine Boo

Boo was just on the radio talking about her book on a slum in Mumbai. It sounds painful and beautiful. I want to read it and read it to my grade 11 classes since we are reading "Slumdog Millionaire". Slumdog Millionaire has its share of reality, but fictionalized versions of how hard life is in India cannot match a good journalist's following around a garbage collector for four years. I'll get ready to cry.
