Bangalore folks, one of our own is launching a book on 12th. An impromptu meetup at the venue, perhaps?
Also, Silklist's 22nd birthday is coming up. Ideas? Udhay ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Samanth Subramanian <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Dec 2, 2019 at 1:05 PM Subject: A book launch in Bangalore To: samanth <[email protected]> Dearly beloved, As some of you may already know from my whinges, I've been working on a book for the last four years: a biography of the scientist, Communist and all-round rabble-rouser JBS Haldane, who died in Bhubhaneswar in 1964. The book, "A Dominant Character," is now available for pre-order, and will be shipped come Dec. 10. And to be totally brazen about it, here's a link: https://www.amazon.in/Dominant-Character-Radical-Restless-Politics/dp/9386797526 . Champaca, the excellent bookstore in the heart of town, has been kind enough to offer its space for a launch event. So I'll be in conversation with the poet and novelist Jeet Thayil on Thursday, Dec. 12, at 630 pm. Everyone's welcome! No invite is necessary, although one is attached. Please feel absolutely free to send this on to your friends as well, and to invite anyone else who might be interested -- in Haldane, or in Jeet's work, or just in boosting the popularity of a fine bookstore. I hope to see you there! Best, Samanth -- http://www.samanth.in -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))
