Join us on Zoom on Thursday, March 17 at 7 PM for a conversation with Sindya Bhanoo around her new collection of stories, Seeking Fortune Elsewhere. She will be joined in conversation by Megha Majumda, author of the novel, "A Burning."
"These intimate stories of South Indian immigrants and the families they left behind center women's lives and ask how women both claim and surrender power—a stunning debut collection from an O. Henry Prize winner"
Traveling from Pittsburgh to Eastern Washington to Tamil Nadu, these stories about dislocation and dissonance see immigrants and their families confront the costs of leaving and staying, identifying sublime symmetries in lives growing apart.
Sindya Bhanoo's haunting stories show us how immigrants' paths, and the paths of those they leave behind, are never simple. Bhanoo takes us along on their complicated journeys where regret, hope, and triumph appear in disguise.
