Anti-Caste SF and Indian-Language Pulp Fiction
Just in time for Dalit History Month, The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF got a pretty great review in Scroll from Devarshi Ghosh. Check it out here:
‘The Blaft Book of Anti-Caste SF’ is every bit is as radical as you think
This should convice you to buy the book if you haven't already! There are ebooks too! Consider adding this sticker set and tote bag with the artwork of the inimitable Priyanka Paul to your purchase!
Also, if you're in the area on April 7, head to Ashoka University, Sonipat Campus, AC04 - LR408, for this talk at 1:30 pm (it's a hybrid event, with Esther Larisa David and Yukti Narang appearing in person, and the rest of us online. But the audience is in-person-only.)
And if you're on the other side of the world, in San Francisco on April 10, at the very lovely Mission District bookshop Medicine for Nightmares, we're doing on a talk on Indian-language pulp fiction--reading from our recent release, Gujarati Pulp Fiction (also available as an ebook!) and showing a slideshow of pulp cover art from all over the subcontinent.
We're planning something with the Anti-Caste SF authors in Kolkata this month too! Watch this space!
