Grief, Death, Violence, Politics Book Launch

In a discussion moderated by Sadia Shepard, the two Indian American authors Hirsh Sawhney (South Haven) and Karan Mahajan (The Association of Small Bombs) will present their latest novels and discuss political violence in India and its reverberations around the world.

“A lyrical yet disturbing look at the grim realities of migration and American suburban life, South Haven manages to be both witty and unnerving at the same time. It is a novel that resonates long in the memory.” —Caryl Phillips, author of The Lost Child

The Association of Small Bombs is wonderful. It is smart, devastating, unpredictable and enviably adept in its handling of tragedy and its fallout. If you enjoy novels that happily disrupt traditional narratives—about grief, death, violence, politics—I suggest you go out and buy this one. Post haste.” —Fiona Maazel,The New York Times
