Join us for a special event with acclaimed New Delhi-based author Geetanjali Shree, in conversation with Dr Mridula Nath Chakraborty.

Winner of the 2022 International Booker Prize and the Warwick Prize for Women in Translation for her novel Tomb of Sand, Shree made literary history as the first author writing in Hindi - or any Indian language - to receive the International Booker Prize.⁠

Confronting the experiences of Partition, Tomb of Sand also explores what it means to be a mother, a daughter, a woman and a feminist. The novel was shortlisted for the 2021 Emile Guimet Prize for Asian Literature and received the 2025 Luna Virino International Award.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary international literature, celebrated for her innovative use of language and structure.

In association with The Wheeler Centre, Byron Writers Festival and Sydney Writers’ Festival.

Register to attend this event either in-person or to watch the live-stream online.
