What does identity and belonging constitute in the non-western city? Where do you find home? And what does fiction or non-fiction do for the contemporary city, particularly given the context of diaspora literature or literary production? Author Pallavi Narayan will be in conversation with author Milan Vohra to discuss Pallavi's books: the short-story anthology Singapore at Home: Life across Lines and the non-fiction work Pamuk's Istanbul: The Self and the City to highlight various perspectives of being in the city. They will highlight the pressures and delights of making, sustaining and breaking homes in the city. Diaspora literature is riding an emergent wave globally, pushing Indian and South Asian writing much beyond its boundaries. The conversation will conclude with a book signing.
