When Losing a Parent Feels Like Losing India | Kiran Desai at KLF 2026| India Abroad

Описание: Speaking at the Kerala Literature Festival, Booker Prize–winning author Kiran Desai reflects on how personal loss shaped her writing — and how the death of her father felt like losing a living connection to India. In a deeply personal conversation, Desai speaks about grief, memory, generational change, and what it means to carry India across borders, resonating powerfully with the Indian-American and global diaspora experience.
