Seattle: All you have to do is RSVP via the following link in order to see Karthika Naïr in person on a cold December afternoon coming right up. Bound to be an invigorating talk on war and feminism and the gazillion poetic forms Karthika uses. https://t.co/8CEhxlhkwT

@justine_jordan "Every stranger is indeed strange in this eerie, devastating little book; but the same is true of family. We are all sealed worlds, Ørstavik seems to suggest; it’s dark outside, and it’s dark inside too." — @guardian https://t.co/qATQoVx9JO

"Ørstavik’s ingenious device is to toggle between their two consciousnesses from one paragraph to the next, so that their narratives run as though on parallel train tracks, never to meet, even as they lie cheek to cheek."— @justine_jordan on LOVE

@BOMBmagazine "I was keen on exploring the human cost of war beyond victory and defeat, on imagining and chronicling the testimonies of those for whom victory becomes a word without meaning." — Karthika Naïr

"How I could possibly ensure each would be singular was what I worried about the most. Form came to my rescue. It was integral to developing individuality, to conveying the mood or personality of each of the characters." —Karthika Naïr in @BOMBmagazine https://t.co/YC4iXOTbe3

"A Kitchen in the Corner of the House, translated by Lakshmi Holmström, by Ambai — pen-name of the Tamil author-activist C.S. Lakshmi — introduced me to a South Indian Alice Munro or Katherine Mansfield." — @BoydTonkin on his favorite books of the year https://t.co/TT6WAZF7vB

"Even living in exile, my mother Stefania, like all Rwandan mothers, strove to salvage and to share all the Rwandan traditions she had learned from her mother ... now it’s my turn to guard the tradition she passed down to me." — @Mukasonga https://t.co/EF63h4Z6mi
