About the event
We’re thrilled to welcome Arathi Menon for a special Live Q&A at Queer Lit, where she’ll be diving into the heart of her thought‑provoking new book, Da.
Arathi will be joined by Isabelle Kenyon—publisher, founder of Fly on the Wall Press, as our chair for the evening—who will guide the conversation and help unpack the rich themes woven throughout the book.
Expect an engaging and intimate discussion exploring identity, family, language, and the power of storytelling. This is a fantastic chance to hear directly from the author about the inspirations behind Da, her creative process, and the personal and cultural threads that inform her work.
Whether you're a long‑time fan, a lover of queer literature, or simply curious to discover new voices, this event is for you.
Bring your questions—there will be plenty of time for audience Q&A!
Books will be available for purchase and signing.
