I'm teaching at a small college and would like to have confirmation on the pronunciation of an author's name: Amitav Ghosh. I've heard it pronounced thus: A-mee-tav Gosh. That is, a long "e" sound for the "i" and short "a" sound for the "a" in the first name and a long "o" sound in the last name, as in "go" and not a short "o" sound like in "Gosh, it is really cold today." Could someone with more experience confirm? You can reach me off-list: lcaton-AT-wisdom.wsc.ma.edu. Many Thanks! Lou --- from list postcolonial-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
