...advocates, academics and others under India’s nebulous anti-terrorism laws. The most recent arrestee was Ajay T.G., also a leading member of PUCL-Chhattisgarh, a human rights activist and film-maker, on May 4, 2008. Individuals like Dr. Sen have a global network of support, including Noam Chomsky, Amartya Sen and Paul Farmer, and yet his incarceration continues. Global demonstrations on May 13 and 14, including one in Harvard Square, will not only mark one year of Dr. Sen’s imprisonment, but also bring attention to the countless others who have also been targeted under...

Neither is its familiar academic setting, where so many mid-list novels are set. Indeed, we are told by Mark Poirier (who wrote the screenplay) that he originally conceived the story as a novel about university life, which I suppose somewhat limits its appeal to a mass audience. That said, its pretty conventional characters are often pretty funny. Or maybe I should say, surprisingly interesting. Ellen Page (recently of Juno ) brings...
