Neel Mukherjee & Jhumpa Lahiri — A State of Freedom: A Novel
A reading and conversation between two renowned authors as part of the Princeton Migrations series — What happens when one attempts to exchange the life one is given for something better? Can we transform the possibilities we are born into? In his stunning novel, prize-winning author Neel Mukherjee wrests open the central, defining events of our century: displacement and migration. Five characters, in very different circumstances—from a domestic cook in Mumbai, to a vagrant and his dancing bear, to a girl who escapes terror in her home village for a new life in the city—find out the meanings of dislocation and the desire for more.
