If you’re in the DC area or know people who are, the South Asian Literary and Theater Arts Festival is happening this Saturday, November 7, from 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM. Authors Kamila Shamsie, Ru Freeman, Kunal Basu, and Tania James will be there. For more information, here is the link to the website. I’ll be there, and I hope you’ll stop by as well!
Welcome!
Welcome! I’m Swapna Krishna, and this is where you’ll find my book reviews. Feel free to look through my review database. I also host the South Asian Review Database and run the South Asian Challenge, which promote the authors and literature of the region.
I do accept books for review, but please take a look at my review policy before pitching me a book. If you have any questions, please contact me.
