Insights Into How Politics, Here and Abroad, Are Shaped by Narratives in Nov 10 Discussion With Two Authors
|
With global and national affairs buffeted by competing narratives about nationhood, citizenship and personhood, storytelling is an important factor influencing politics at home and abroad. That’s the topic of a public conversation on Nov. 10 with two people who write narratives: Indian-American novelist Karan Mahajan and author Suketu Mehta at Manhattanville College. — an announcement from the India Cultural Center
Mehta and Mahajan will talk about the urgency of storytelling in this geopolitical landscape, delving into the role of geography in defining writers and writing, the necessity of self-expression and narrative as a catalyst for belonging. “The Global War of Storytelling” is presented by the Greenwich-based India Cultural Center and hosted by the Manhattanville College MFA in Writing Program.
