Two writers of the Indian diaspora, Hari Kunzru (White Tears) and Balli Kaur Jaswal (Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows), read from their latest work and discuss themes of belonging, defying tradition, and passions that derive from living as an immigrant, with postcolonial and transnational literature scholar Tanya Agathocleous. Followed by a reception and book signing.
