Brotherless Night: Political Fiction of the Recent Past

Thorough research is not just for non-fiction books; a great deal of research goes into most historical fiction novels as well. Ganeshananthan will discuss how she created a realistic and historically appropriate setting for her novel by researching 1980s Sri Lanka. She’ll also delve into themes and style, emphasizing its place in the larger tradition of literature addressing war, feminism, and ethnicity. This event is being presented in person and virtually. Registration opens late summer. More details: https://www.cvbookfest.org/festival-events/vv-ganeshananthan
