Event Description

Wondering which book to read next?

We have you covered. This Sunday, join us for an invigorating conversation with bestselling Kannada author Vasundhendra and theatre actor-director Sharanya Ramprakash on the former’s book, Unforgiving City and Other Stories.

A powerful collection of stories that shock, move and amuse by turns, the characters in Unforgiving City and Other Stories struggle to find their feet in a fast-changing India. They mirror our unspoken dilemmas, torn loyalties and the loss of innocence.

Deftly crafted with gentle wit and a lightness of touch, each gripping story exposes the deepest contradictions of modern life. The fluid translation retains the flavour and nuances of the original Kannada, creating a rich reading experience.

After the conversation, Vasundhendra will also sign copies of his book, which will be available for purchase at Paperback Bookshop.

About the author: Vasudhendra is a bestselling author in Kannada. Among his fifteen books are the critically acclaimed Mohanaswamy, which has been translated into several languages, the historical novel Tejo Tungabhadra that has become hugely popular, and the award-winning collection of essays Nammamma Andre Nangishta (I Like My Mother). He is the recipient of several literary awards, including the Karnataka Sahitya Akademi Book Prize and the U.R. Ananthamurthy Award. After working as a software professional for over twenty years, Vasudhendra now runs his own publication house, Chanda Pustaka.
