Event Description

Join us for the book launch of Kuzhali Manickavel's debut novel A Compendium of Supernatural Entities Found in the Government Girls Higher Secondary School, which draws from her high school years in small-town Tamil Nadu. 

Her unique writing style includes elements of surrealism, horror, and unhinged humour; but much of her short fiction is also very grounded in a sense of place. In this talk, celebrated children's author Shalini Srinivasan will dialogue with Kuzhali about childhood visions, coming-of-age stories, and the monsters that haunt our dreams.  

This will be followed by an interactive Q&A with the audience.
