Kiran Desai in conversation with Daniel Pardo

South to North Conversations: between memory and identity

Venue: Teatro de la Ciudad

After becoming the youngest author to win the prestigious Booker Prize for The Inheritance of Loss, Kiran Desai (India) went on to publish her next novel straight away. However, The Solitude of Sonia and Sunny comes after two decades of letting her memories of India simmer. As in her previous novel, the story is set in both the United States and India, but also in Mexico, where she lived for a time, which helped her to understand American influence from a different perspective. Sonia and Sunny’s story is one of love, migration and rootlessness and, above all, of the different kinds of loneliness that emerge on the periphery.
