Last night, I had the chance to see Tania James read from her new collection Aerogrammes and Other Stories. Ranging in genre from diasporic fiction to historical fiction and fantasy, the collection demonstrates what a talented and versatile storyteller James is. James discussed her ambivalence towards being compared to other “female Indian lady writers” (as she put it), and her fiction itself resists the pigeonholing experienced by so many “ethnic” writers. Though I’m not quite finished with the collection, I strongly recommend it so far!

A beautiful day for the Great GoogaMooga festival.
The site was a palimpsest, as was all the city, written, erased, rewritten. There had been communities here before Columbus ever set sail, before Verrazano anchored ships in the narrows, or the black Portuguese slave trader Esteban Gómez sailed up the Hudson; human beings had lived here, built homes, and quarreled with their neighbors long before the Dutch ever saw a business opportunity in the rich furs and timber of the island and its calm bay. Generations rushed through the eye of the needle, and I, one of the still legible crowd, entered the subway. I wanted to find the line that connected me to my own part in these stories. — Teju Cole, Open City
