Intemperance: Sonora Jha in Conversation with Minelle Mahtani
Advertisement
Acclaimed novelist, professor and essayist Sonora Jha brings her electrifying new novel Intemperance to the Indian Summer Festival!
A bold, unflinching exploration of race, power, desire, and the uneasy moral terrain of liberal institutions: not to mention the challenges facing South Asian menopausal women who work within them. Through searing prose and psychological intensity, Intemperance pulls readers into a world where ambition, complicity, and resistance collide in unsettling and deeply revealing ways.
In conversation with Minelle Mahtani, author of the award-winning memoir May It Have a Happy Ending, Jha will delve into the novel’s provocations and its urgent questions. Expect a lively, incisive exchange that moves well beyond the page. Stick around after the talk to purchase books to be signed by the authors from our official book seller, Iron Dog Books.
Event supported by Iron Dog Books, Granville Island, Vancouver Writers Festival, and the Hari Sharma Foundation.
