Roman Stories

Keynote Speaker: Jhumpa Lahiri
In Conversation with Suketu Mehta

Award-winning author Jhumpa Lahiri's latest work, originally penned in Italian, is the short story collection, Roman Stories. The stories look into the complexities of family ties, enduring friendships, and the immigrant experience. With its interplay of the past and present, Rome serves as a powerful backdrop for Lahiri's deeply empathetic and profoundly resonant narratives. In conversation with celebrated writer Suketu Mehta, Lahiri weaves through the boundaries of fiction to give us a peek into the beating heart of the city and its people.
