Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award nominee Daniyal Mueenuddin — author of the acclaimed story collection In Other Rooms, Other Wonders — joins author Suketu Mehta on stage for the launch of his highly anticipated debut novel, This is Where the Serpent Lives.
An unparalleled portrait of modern Pakistan, This is Where the Serpent Lives moves from the country’s dazzling and chaotic cities to its lawless feudal countryside, tracing the destinies of a dozen unforgettable characters whose lives are linked through violence, tragedy, and love. Following the paths of an orphaned boy taken in by a powerful industrialist and a gardener’s son who rises through the echelons of the business world only to find himself an outlaw, Mueenuddin’s debut is intimate and epic — an elegiac and profoundly moving study of loyalty, class, family, and fate.
Join Mueenuddin and Mehta for an evening celebrating the launch of his propulsive, unforgettable, long-awaited novel — a reading and conversation with one of the most exciting voices in contemporary fiction.
