‘I begin to feel increasingly at home in big cities,’ Kazuo Ishiguro once told me when I asked him if he felt himself a foreigner everywhere. ‘Perhaps because big cities have become the place where people of different backgrounds tend to congregrate.’ I think I know what he meant, though he, of course, is 100 percent Japanese, just as I, who’d seldom been in India, was 100 percent Indian.
