A shout-out for a book I liked very much. I read If It Is Sweet recently, and found it gentle and brutal, searingly honest, and very brave. Toto Funds the Arts in association with Tranquebar Press is launching the book here in Bangalore, on Thursday, 13 August, at 6.30 pm at Crossword Bookstore on Residency Road. Mridula’s reading will be followed by a conversation with novelist Usha KR.
From the invite:
Mridula Koshy was born and raised in Delhi till she migrated to the US, where she worked as a union and community organiser. Years went by and she returned to the city that makes her think the hardest. She lives in Delhi with her partner and children. Her short stories have been published widely, both in India and abroad. She is at work on her first novel, set in Kerala, Delhi and other parts of the world. If It Is Sweet is her first book and has won rave reviews and a very wide readership.
The book is also being launched in Chennai on Tuesday, 11th August 2009 at 6.30 pm, at Connemara Hotel.
Sounds good! Post a review of the event, please, with pic if possible!!
