Preadings


Heard of 'preadings'? It's when a writer reads from her/his work before the actual launch of a book. It's a small early peek into the book for readers. I love the idea. Will be doing some in Pune and Bangalore and Mumbai. Will keep everyone posted on when where.
Artist designer and singer Junuka Deshpande is going to do the book cover - she's currently working on it. Yayyy.
This is for the second novel, The Counsel of Strangers. It's a book in 6 voices, is all I can say now.
And this is the opening quote to the book:
"There are no strangers here; only friends you haven't yet met.” - ascribed to W.B. Yeats
