Sonora Jha

Honored to receive the Washington State Book Award for Fiction! So grateful to @WAStateLib for celebrating Washington state authors. My deepest thanks to the judges and to the other finalists, whose work I so admire! Bonus pic of a plum ripening in the sun as I wrote at a window.

#BookReview | "Intemperance is many things. It is a very engrossing story, often witty, but just as often wise, poignant, and hard-hitting. It is magical realism," Madhulika Liddle writes. Read the full review here: scroll.in/article/109196…

Out soon: In @ProfSonoraJha's latest, a 55-year-old woman dares to centre her own desire and stage a swayamvar, which becomes a sharp, funny, unapologetically feminist spectacle. A riotous tale of love, ageing and power that refuses shame, embraces hunger and insists on joy.

Intemperance: @ProfSonoraJha talks to @keshavaguha about her new novel, a satirical feminist folktale and a meditation on how we might reach past all sense and still find love. #BlrLitFest 2025

Peeping into the male mind in a changing world: Dilip Pattubala, @ConsultVistas, and @ProfSonoraJha in conversation with Rohini Nilekani at #BlrLitFest 2025

I have lost count of how many years I have been single. I have lost count of how many ways I have fallen in love with myself and the world. I wish for you all the love of your life.

Usually I don’t talk about stuff like this because frankly it happens way too often. But not today… As I pulled into the same faculty parking lot that I park in all the time @msstate, a white woman was coming out of my office building. Her car was parked next to the space I pulled into.
