Festival Program
VIKRAM SETH: Two Lives
The author of A Suitable Boy discusses his latest work about a childless couple living in England—he from the Raj’s India, she a German-Jew who fled Hitler’s Germany—who take in their grand-nephew, Vikram Seth. This masterful fusion of memoir, biography, and history creates an extraordinary tapestry of India, the Third Reich and the Second World War, Auschwitz and the Holocaust, Israel and Palestine, post-war Germany, and 1970’s Britain.

Presented in partnership with the Kriti Festival and the Delhi Committee, Chicago Sister Cities International Program.
