An Afternoon With An Author: Stephen Alter

How a violent home invasion in Mussoorie became a source of inspiration for the book 'Becoming A Mountain'. Like many writers, Stephen Alter calls Mussoorie home. There's something in the air, he says, that makes for great writing. Host Shiv spends an afternoon with him, his wife and his dogs, meeting the man behind the cover, and talking about the incident that inspired the book 'Becoming A Mountain'.
