Model Minority: Uniquely American
Society & Culture
In the first episode of our new mini-series "In Conversation," Nidhi sits down with novelist, essayist, and critic writer Karan Mahajan. They discuss how Karan pursued writing as someone from a conservative Indian background, terrorism as a theme in his novels, the broader Desi diaspora, South African apartheid, and more. Then, he reads a bit of his piece "The Two Asian Americas."
Karan's writing has been featured in The Believer, The Daily Beast, the San Francisco Chronicle, Granta, and The New Yorker.
The Two Asian Americas was in the Top 15 most-read pieces of the New Yorker in 2015, and his novel, the Association of Small Bombs, was named one of the New York Times Book Review's "10 Best Books of 2016." Check out his website for more info.
