A. Vikram Seth → IV. From Heaven Lake
Vikram Seth is the author of the travelogue “From Heaven Lake: Travels Through Sinkiang and Tibet”.
✅ So, A → IV
B. V.S. Naipaul → III. The Mosque of Africa
This seems like a miswording or paraphrased title.
V.S. Naipaul wrote “Among the Believers: An Islamic Journey” and “Beyond Belief: Islamic Excursions among the Converted Peoples”, which explore Islam in non-Arab countries including Africa.
Due to this association, “The Mosque of Africa” is likely a descriptive or alternative title linked to his Islamic-themed travel writing.
✅ So, B → III
C. Salman Rushdie → I. Knife
Salman Rushdie's latest memoir (2023) is titled “Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder”, recounting the 2022 stabbing incident.
✅ So, C → I
D. Jhumpa Lahiri (typo in your text as "Thumpa Lahiri") → II. The Lowland
Jhumpa Lahiri is the author of “The Lowland”, a novel longlisted for the Booker Prize.
