When Kiran Desai began shopping her novel The Inheritance of Loss to potential agents and publishers a couple of years ago, doors slammed in her face all the way around the world. It's not because she was unknown: Her debut novel, Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, had received effusive reviews and decent sales. Besides, her mother is the celebrated writer Anita Desai.
