Some Favorite Writers: Akhil Sharma
Tuesday, Dec. 8, 7:30 p.m. | Hammer Museum
Akhil Sharma’s second novel, "Family Life," launches in Delhi, the city of his birth, and unfolds in New York, the PEN/Hemingway Award winner’s chosen home. It was 13 years in the writing, and Sharma’s lengthy process resulted in a tight novel that is “a terse, devastating account of growing up as a brilliant outsider in American culture,” observes the novelist Edmund White, and is “heart-stopping,” according to Sonali Deraniyagala, writing in the New York Times Book Review.
