Join us to celebrate Unmana's debut novel CHIKKAMMA TOURS (PVT.) and Radhika Swarup's THE NEW NEW DELHI BOOK CLUB. While CHIKKAMMA TOURS (PVT.) LTD is a queer bibliomystery set in Bangalore, THE NEW NEW DELHI BOOK CLUB paints a vivid portrait of a community in lockdown. Both the books are about the act of reading (be it solitary or in a community) and offer a delightful treat for bibliophiles. The authors will be in conversation with Radhika Timbadia.
Here are the details of the event-
DATE- 12 DECEMBER, THURSDAY
