Join us for a reading and conversation with Soham Patel, author of The Daughter Industry. Soham Patel will be in conversation with Hodges Adams for the event. This in-person event will be free and open to the public. We recommend arriving early for the best seating.
About the Book: In a prismatic meditation on survival, Patel assembles a chorus of seven voices to sing songs of resistance and queer desire. Patel transforms medical language, pop culture fragments, and dream sequences into an unflinching examination of what it means to exist in a world that doesn’t want you. From yoga halls to ultrasound clinics, from Bollywood dance routines to ghost stories, Patel maps the daughter industry with her signature wit, prosody, and clear-sighted documentation of erased histories.
About the Author: Soham Patel is the author of The Daughter Industry (Nightboat, 2026), as well as all one in the end—/water (Delete Press, 2022); ever really hear it (Subito Press, 2018), winner of the Subito Prize; and to afar from afar (Civil Coping Mechanisms, 2018). They live in Blacksburg, Virginia, where they teach at the MFA at Virginia Tech.
