I have been a Bombay girl for more than 15 years now. Happy to talk about Saikat Majumdar @saikatmajumdar.bsky.social's book 'The Remains of the Body', a novella I am currently re-reading. His writing continues to awe me for his take on relationships & deeply moving narratives. In "What's Mumbai Reading."

Adam Ross’s "Playworld" haunted me with old memories. The vulnerability of the actor, at once comic and tragic, animates this beautifully imagined and crafted novel and hits me hard because of dark reasons of my own: TheHinduBooks The Hindu: thehindu.com/books/book-rev…

Joyce Studies Annual was a journal I admired through most of my time in graduate school and beyond. A great delight to be interviewed by this journal on my work as a novelist and a reader of modernist fiction, particularly my thoughts on James Joyce: degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/1…

Excited to arrive in Romania as the country goes to vote, and to discuss empire, education, and reading with one of the country’s prominent intellectuals, Alexandru Matei.

“Having lived and worked in close historical proximity of many toxic nationalisms that started as legitimate struggles against oppression, I feel deeply troubled by my eroding faith in nationalism itself.” Thoughts on the maimed nationalisms of the world: hindustantimes.com/books/the-stor…

As Romania celebrates the victory of centrist Nicusor Dan over the far-right, Trump-admirer George Simion in Sunday’s Presidential Election, I get to experience the Great Communist Palace of Nicolae Ceaușescu in Bucharest as a hall of absurd mirages.

May 23 is Commencement Day at Ashoka University and my birthday. A little message for our graduating students, recorded before the great maimed chair that helped outlaw landmines around the world, across the UN Headquarters in Geneva. Shot by the wonderful filmmaker, Anup Singh.
