Last week, Ben Baer and I spoke to @arnabdr.bsky.social about our book Spider-Mother and Rokeya Hossain for the New Books Network podcast. You can listen to the episode at the link below. 🙂 So grateful for Arnab's excellent questions and planning of the interview.

Some photos from this past weekend’s book event for Spider-Mother at Princeton. Thank you (again) to Ben Baer for his excellent translations and collaboration on this project, to @sadafjaffer.bsky.social for being in conversation with us, and to the Center for Global India for hosting us!

Since we're all reconvening here, I thought I'd reshare some good news here: A project I’ve been working on all year was published this month: Spider-Mother: The Fiction and Politics of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (Warbler Press, 2024). 1/4
