two very different authors on the show today, from different parts of the world which is reflected in their works: good friends a.a.chaudhuri and awais khan are presenting their work today.
one novel a deep exploration of the classist society of pakistan and the other an investigation into the depraved world of a serial killer, roaming the streets of gentrified london … ahh well i guess there are inevitable similarities after all, namely the ubiquitous presence of capitalism, which, if not creating is at least facilitating a relentless patricharial system.
don’t fear though: you can totally enjoy these books without having to overanalyze every sentence/paragraph such as the draxtor mind is unfortunately hardwired to do … sigh …
and now please do read/watch on for more context below:
- the original livestream
- the post show hangout, poolside
- shyla’s slides are always informative [don’t forget to visit awais’ “the writing institute” – very inspiring but more importantly: if someone has a few million US$ floating around = please transfer! I need to get a vacation home in Lahore!]
- ruby’s set will not be dismantled and you can always visit and hang, even if you are not a mermaid ….
- glad we redesigned the set from an earlier version at the lauren beukes moxyland world location ….
- everyone seemed to have fun this time around …. perhaps the condition of “second life anxiety” is after all a lot less debilitationg as “zoom fatigue” ? also: second life is on tiktok [where the kids are!]
- who made my wetsuit i used this week you ask? well of course salt and pepper made it and you can own it too!
