South Asian Canadian Writers in Tokyo

Tomorrow evening I'll participate in a trialogue called New Canadian Writing with Shyam Selvadurai and Anita Rau Badami. It's a great pleasure to talk in depth with the authors of such fabulous novels as "Funny Boy" (Shyam) and "Tamarind Woman" (Anita). I met them last week at Waseda where they gave a joint lecture. Muy sympatico/a persons! Yoko Fujimoto of Waseda invited me to discuss with them some issues of contemporary exilography. I am honored.

Those of you who can make it, please do come to the Canadian Embassy at 18:00. We'll have a whole evening to talk!
