HOUSE OF CARAVANS is out in the world!!!!

Are private schools better than public? From a job applicant’s pov: private! They send you personalized rejections. Public schools send form rejections with words misspelled and you feel more sorry for the state of education than yourself! #publicschools

@mr_gusaroni @fullstopmag Thank you for this wonderful and piercing review! It’s such a rare occurrence that a critic totally gets what a writer has been working years to say!! 😊😊😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

"Suneja’s debut novel asks what it means to both belong to and resist categories of geography, religion, caste, and time."

Still out here talking about partitions, borders, and love across borders: its necessity, its impossibility. Thank you to @_preetysidhu and @ElectricLit for the conversation. "By loving each other, are we making the world a better place or not?"

I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.

Thank you @lithub for giving space to Partition narratives so we can unpack the tragedy that continues to dictate South Asian identity.

[Literary Hub @lithub]

"What is the Partition now? It is a difficult legacy, it is memories of resentments, it’s the cause of border wars. It’s the othering of minority neighbors." @Shilpits recommends Partition narratives. https://t.co/Vgo0yjjas1

It’s pub day for HOUSE OF CARAVANS!!! 🍊📔🍊📔🍊📔🍊📔

@SohrabFracis Yes, Khushwant Singh’s book is important, but I wanted to highlight lesser-known texts that deal with the long shadow :)

[Shilpi Suneja @Shilpits]

I put together this reading list on Partition for LitHub. The epic tragedy that killed 1 million people and uprooted 13 million takes years to understand and unpack. These books make it easier: https://t.co/1ijpdgIFyi
