Dr. Deborah Baker

In 1990 Deborah Baker moved to Calcutta where she studied Bengali and wrote "In Extremis: The Life of Laura Riding," a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize in Biography. Since then, her essays have appeared in a range of publications from "The New York Times" to the Calcutta Statesmen. With her husband, the writer Amitav Ghosh, and her two children Lila and Nayan, she now divides her time between Calcutta, Goa and Brooklyn.
