The Story of My Assassins – A Conversation with Tarun Tejpal
Join us for a reading and conversation with journalist, publisher, and novelist Tarun Tejpal. Widely regarded as one of the most influential voices in India, Tejpal heads an independent news agency in India, Tehelka, that has broken new ground for its aggressive public interest journalism. Story of My Assassins is his second novel. “A muscular, deeply incisive and deathly funny comment on twenty-first century India, The Story of My Assassins is a multi-layered novel that skillfully slashes through the subcontinent’s dubious spiritual serenity to lay bare every crippling divide of language, wealth and class. Trawling life and death in the dark underside, it inquires into the inexorable codes of power and wealth that propel societies. A triumph of disparate voices, unbearable realities, and impossible conundrums, this is a book that will forever change the way we look at the world around us.” Co-sponsored by the literary journal AGNI. Reception to follow.
