And it’s a thriller double-biller!
Monica Mody has published work in Wasafiri, Pratilipi, LIES/ISLE, nthposition, and elsewhere. Her chapbook Travel & Risk was brought out this year by the Wheelchair Party Press. Mody is the winner of the Nicholas Sparks Prize 2010 and the Toto Award for Creative Writing 2007. She has just received her M.F.A. in poetry from the University of Notre Dame.
Sharanya Manivannan‘s book, Witchcraft, was described in The Straits Times as “sensuous and spiritual, delicate and dangerous and as full as the moon reflected in a knife”. Her poetry has also been published in Drunken Boat, Softblow, Pratilipi and elsewhere, and a personal column, “The Venus Flytrap”, appears in The New Indian Express.

Madras Terrace House, 15 Sri Puram IInd Street, off R.K. Salai, Royapettah, Chennai (Tel: 4503 8391)
7pm – 8.30pm
Please do come – I think this is the last event before MTH closes its doors, and the fantastic sale at the boutique and the nicest chai kadai in town are also not to be missed.
I so, soooo wish I could be there! This truly is a thriller of a double bill!
Loved last night! Thank you!
Mamma Mia – I wish you were there too!
Shruthi – Thank you for coming, darling!
It was SUCH a good reading, such a wonderful evening. I’m really very happy about it. Monica and I had a great synergy – her work is experimental, mine is traditional, but somewhere there was connection and even confluence. I hope everybody who came left as happy as I did.
