My debut novel 'Unfolding' is out in the world today with @HarperCollinsIN . A work of years, between many other things. I send my characters who have been mine for more than half a decade to you. Buy wherever you get books. #debutnovel @kan_writersside

@j_chitrakshi Thank you. It goes beautifully with the novel :)

@rahulzsing @PhilipPanass Gorgeous cover art!

Going to blow my own trumpet a little: read my book. It is published in 2026. It has no AI usage whatsoever. Every word is mine and mine only. Thank you very much. #books #publishing #debutnovel #Unfolding PS: I am surprised and disappointed in Olga T. among many other things :/

@SankarChoudha10 Soon hopefully. But having the paperback version is a delight too. Look at the cover :P

@rahulzsing Sir isn't there a e-book format of this book

Staring at the ceiling and waiting for the argument to pop in. *Very academic* The thesis shall be seen to its finish, hopefully. #phd #sociology

@thepandit03 @CPIMWestBengal So has the Communist philosophy! You’re literally studying Political Science. It’s surprising of you to make such a comment, frankly. It smacks of historical ignorance.

@rahulzsing @CPIMWestBengal Sir if I write in Hindi then you'll say I don't know hindi, so don't impose hindi on us. English is not Indian but it has become a common language of interaction.

प्रसिद्ध गायक अरिजित सिंह के शहर जियागंज (मुर्शिदाबाद जिला) में लेनिन की मूर्ति को भाजपा समर्थक तोड़ रहे हैं।

@thepandit03 @CPIMWestBengal Then why are you speaking/writing in English? It’s not your language. So stop all this nonsense.

@CPIMWestBengal Lenin was neither an Indian nor your father so stop all this nonsense. The Left free Bharat has been established, so either close this shit ideology or go to china. No place for Communist in India.

Who would’ve thought that I’d speak about UNFOLDING on a podcast! I didn’t. I had such a fun time and spoke my mind in this. @boundindia @kan_writersside #podcast #novelwriting tr.ee/MOUDzQT6Y4

"Homosexuals live in a world where their ideas of love generally come from representations of heterosexual ideas. So, in this novel, I wanted to completely undo that," Rahul Singh (@rahulzsing) tells Rush Mukherjee. Read the full interview here: scroll.in/article/109196…

I spoke about toxic men, open relationships, open endings, representation of Muslim working class women, and Kolkata as a city with @scroll_in . @kan_writersside #Debutnovel #indianlit amp.scroll.in/article/109196…

It is #WorldBookDay . A day to celebrate books: the act of reading, writing, publishing them. Read books. Buy books. Keep the human thought alive in this grossly limiting world. . #books #ReadingNook #Queernovel #indianlit #Kolkata

@divyarrs Three Days in June by Anne Tyler Happy All The Time by Laurie Colwin Difficult Pleasures by Anjum Hasan Love in the Big City by Sang Young Park

Hello book lovers.... I have some travel time this month, and i am looking for good fiction that can keep me company... send your recommendations my way, preferably something that's easy to read/hopeful!!!

@RogueChieftan Definitely Jason Moore’s essays on Capitalocene, Friction by Anna Tsing, Can the Mosquito Speak? By T. Mitchell, Donna Haraway’s Staying with the Trouble, Dipesh Ch’s works, Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet (Ed vol). These are some I could think of just now.

I have to teach a 200-level global environmental history lecture course in the fall, and I’m honestly pretty nervous about it. What articles or readings have you taught or would teach in a global environmental history class?

Because the debate has risen, and rightly so (I still love these writers). Read my book! It is based in contemporary Kolkata, following two gay men and their Muslim help. It is a domestic literary fiction. (I live in Kolkata). #fiction #debutnovel #indianwriting #indianfiction

@MVijay88 @karteakk @himganj153 Going to shamelessly insert myself and say : read my book! 😝 harpercollins.co.in/press-release/…

This is also why/because we don’t take writers based in India seriously. As readers we read what the West tells us to, even now. ‘A Suitable Boy’ became a big thing after the US market fetishised it. We desperately need to read more Indian fiction. timesnownews.com/lifestyle/book…

@chauhananjali98 @GPCjournal Many congratulations

Academic update: I've recently received — A research grant from Johns Hopkins University Centre on Global Poverty Awarded Gender, Place & Culture New and Emerging Scholars Award @GPCjournal 2026 is going to be so exciting and full of learning 🤍

My work on Rainfall and Polycrisis in the twin-cities of Bengal published in @IJURResearch is now open-access. @lizaweinstein #openaccess #academia #sociology #journalpublication #bengal #urbanstudies onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

I had such a lovely time discussing UNFOLDING with Unmana over at @ChampacaBooks (online). #book #bookdiscussion #unfolding @HarperCollins @kan_writersside youtu.be/UtpRgZY_kd0?si…

Book-spotting at @Bahrisons_books ; my novel beside THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS! #book

'Their open relationship, which begins as an idea of possibility, slowly becomes a space filled with jealousy, doubt, and silent fear. Love here...stretches, it falters..' A heartening review of UNFOLDING on @storizenmag . @kan_writersside storizen.com/book-reviews/u…
