Now this is a treat! Get ready for a fun, frank and fascinating conversation with the great Balli Kaur Jaswal! Balli is the author of five award-wining, bestselling novels, translated into fifteen languages. Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows was picked by Reese Witherspoon for her book club, Sugarbread was a finalist for the Epigram Books Fiction Prize and the 2018 Singapore Literature Prize and her new novel Now You See Us has just been released to international acclaim. We talked to her about formative reading adventures in Russia, Japan, Singapore and the Philippines, stories of female solidarity, the book that made her want to build worlds and the unfortunate consequences of starting your own detective club.
