Meet the author: Shubhangi Swarup Shubhangi Swarup (author and journalist)
Book reading session with Shubhangi Swarup, an award-winning Indian English writer and journalist. She will be presenting her debut novel "Latitudes of Longing" (2018), recently published in German as "Breiten des Verlangens" (2023).
Those with an interest in contemporary Indian writing and South Asian climate fiction will find this event particularly engaging. Swarup’s novel follows a tectonically active faultline passing through different parts of South Asia. In her own words, “I spent seven years living and researching in those places, as I was keen to avoid the outsider gaze, and tried very hard to situate myself in the geography and geology, not just culture or language.” Join us as we delve deeper into the motivations that inspired Swarup to embark on this intriguing journey and learn firsthand how she navigated the challenges along the way.
