Vauhini Vara with Leslie Jamison: This Is Salvaged

Vauhini Vara’s debut novel, The Immortal King Rao, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize and the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, won the Colorado Book Award, and is being adapted for television. Lit Hub and Electric Literature have named her new short-story collection, This Is Salvaged, as one of the most anticipated books of the year. In it, Vara explores the nature of being a child, parent, friend, sibling, neighbor, or lover, and the relationships between self and others.

Vara speaks with New York Times bestselling author Leslie Jamison about her new book, which ponders the question, in a world defined by estrangement, where is communion to be found?
