Manu Joseph In conversation with Kathika V.K.
Manu Joseph is the author of two novels -- The Illicit Happiness of Other People, which was released in 2012, and Serious Men, his first novel, which won The Hindu Literary Prize and the PEN Open Book Award. It was one of Huffington Post’s 10 Best Books of 2010, and was shortlisted, among other awards, for the Man Asian Literary Prize and the Bollinger PG Wodehouse Prize for best comic fiction. Serious Men has been optioned for an Indian language film.
He is editor of the India newsweekly, Open, and writes a fortnightly column in the global edition of the New York Times.
Karthika V.K. started her career in publishing with Penguin Books India in 1996 after an M.Phil in English Literature from the University of Hyderabad. At HarperCollins India she publishes, among other writers, Advaita Kala, Amruta Patil, Anita Nair, Anuja Chauhan, Aravind Adiga, Manu Joseph, Radhika Jha, Rana Dasgupta, Sarnath Banerjee and Tarun Tejpal.
Background : Writers, Etc is our literary platform: a space where the written word gets primacy, where written ideas and their practitioners can interact with each other and the general public, coming together to ask pertinent questions and seek their answers: what role does literature play in contemporary societies? How do writers see their responsibilities vis-à-vis the public and, turning that over, how do we see writers? How has the written word adapted to its place among the growing pantheon of varied and addictive forms of cultural transmission? The aim is to encourage a discovery, unencumbered by genre, of all the written oeuvres, ranging from living legends to new and emerging talent.
