V. \"Sugi\" Ganeshananthan as she reads from her new book \"Brotherless Night.\" Books will be available for purchase by Literati, and the author will be signing copies after the reading.\r\n\r\nJaffna, 1981. Sixteen-year-old Sashi wants to become a doctor. But over the next decade, a vicious civil war tears through her home, and her dream spins off course as she sees her four beloved brothers and their friend K swept up in the mounting violence. Desperate to act, Sashi accepts K\u2019s invitation to work as a medic at a field hospital for the militant Tamil Tigers, who, following years of state discrimination and violence, are fighting for a separate homeland for Sri Lanka\u2019s Tamil minority. But after the Tigers murder one of her teachers and Indian peacekeepers arrive only to commit further atrocities, Sashi begins to question where she stands. When one of her medical school professors, a Tamil feminist and dissident, invites her to join a secret project documenting human rights violations, she embarks on a dangerous path that will change her forever.\r\n\r\nV. V. Ganeshananthan (she\/her) is the author of the novels Brotherless Night (winner of the 2024 Women's Prize for Fiction and the 2024 Carol Shields Prize, a New York Times Editors\u2019 Choice, and an NPR Book of the Year) and Love Marriage (longlisted for the Women's Prize and named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post). Her work has appeared in Granta, The New York Times, and The Best American Nonrequired Reading, among other publications.\r\n\r\nA former vice president of the South Asian Journalists Association, she has also served on the board of the Asian American Writers\u2019 Workshop, and is presently a member of the boards of the American Institute for Sri Lankan Studies and the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop. The National Endowment for the Arts, the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard, Yaddo, MacDowell, and the American Academy in Berlin have awarded her fellowships. She has served as visiting faculty at the Helen Zell Writers\u2019 Program at the University of Michigan and at the Iowa Writers\u2019 Workshop, and now teaches in the MFA program at the University of Minnesota, where she is a McKnight Presidential Fellow and associate professor of English. She co-hosts the Fiction\/Non\/Fiction podcast on Literary Hub, which is about the intersection of literature and the news.\r\n\r\nThis event has been made possible by Asian, Pacific Islander American Studies, the Center for South Asian Studies, Department of American Culture, Department of Asian Languages and Cultures, Department of Comparative Literature, Department of English, the Department of History, the International Institute, and the Program in International and Comparative Studies.
