Author Talk: The Life and Opinions of Kartik Popat by Brannavan Gnanalingam
About the event
Join us in the shop to hear about the new novel from award-winning novelist Brannavan Gnanalingam, The Life and Opinions of Kartik Popat, published by Lawrence and Gibson. Fellow author, Rajorshi Chakraborti will be asking Brannavan questions about his first novel in two and a half years.
The Life and Opinions of Kartik Popat casts a sidelong glare at the rise of wannabe South Asian demagogues in Western democracies, and imagines a version fit for Aotearoa. The novel lampoons the concept of the model minority, as Kartik makes a mockery of representational politics and reacts to the echo chambers and political movements of the day.
All welcome!
