V.V. Ganeshananthan is coming to Unbound!

If you are old school like us and still get the New York Times delivered, you will have seen that the front page of yesterday’s NYT Book Section featured Brotherless Night, the brilliant (and long-awaited) new novel from V.V. Ganeshananthan. Unbound regulars will probably know Sugi (as she is also known) from her past appearances at the festival as part of the Fiction/Non/Fiction podcast team with Whitney Terrell. Now we are thrilled to welcome her to Unbound to talk about her own book. Already receiving masses of extraordinary critical acclaim, Brotherless Night is a stunning, unmissable read about war, and family, and the cost of loyalty. We can’t wait to welcome Sugi back to Columbia to talk about this astonishing book!
