(Jag googlade runt litet kring Bertils Gandhi-bok som verkar ha uppmärksammats
mycket. Länkarna nedan är huvudsakligen bara från idag. Det lär komma mer!
Nedan det jag skrev om saken på en utrikisk lista - en lista vid namn
Fictionmags, if you have to know. Notera särskilt första länken som talar om
att man vill filma boken... /"Stage of submission" syftar nog på dito vad
gäller filmförhandlingar./ --AE)
The Swedish author, journalist, publisher etc Bertil Falk reached sf
immortality when he resurrected Jules Verne Magasinet in 1969. But now he's
reaching even higher! Leading Indian newspapers cover his new book The
Forgotten Gandhi, a biography about Feroze Gandhi, husband of legendary Indian
Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Some examples:
http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/swedish-author-brings-back-the-forgotten-gandhi/article7748148.ece
"The political non-fiction which is now with a leading literary agent in India
is going through the stage of submission but already talks of film rights and
documentary rights are being discussed by the author and the agent."
(Film rights? Gee, you could become rich, Bertil!)

"Who was Feroze Gandhi? This book has some interesting answers."
http://epaper.telegraphindia.com/paper/7-0-19@11@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Feroze 'fascist' jibe at Indira."

(Yes, his book is on Youtube too.)

(That's in Hindi but it seems to be about Bertil's book.)
Bertil Falk may very well become a superstar in the 1 Billion nation of
India... No small feat!
(And to remind you, he's done a lot for science fiction too. He has published
short story collections by the talented by underappreciated Sture Lönnerstrand
as well as the untalented and overappreciated A Engholm, and has recently
written - not yet published, but I have read it in manuscript form - a lengthy
history of Swedish science fiction. He has published Edmond Hamilton and Cpt
Future, chaired the Short Story Masters society, edited the damn fine
literary magazine DAST, arranged Sweden's Smallest Book Fair, interviewed
Jerry Siegel, worked for TV3 helping to bury the Swedish TV monopoly, etc etc.)
