HOUSE OF CARAVANS is out in the world!!!!

Are private schools better than public? From a job applicant’s pov: private! They send you personalized rejections. Public schools send form rejections with words misspelled and you feel more sorry for the state of education than yourself! #publicschools

@mr_gusaroni @fullstopmag Thank you for this wonderful and piercing review! It’s such a rare occurrence that a critic totally gets what a writer has been working years to say!! 😊😊😊🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Hi friends! Just wrote a review of @Shilpits's fantastic debut novel, House of Caravans, for @fullstopmag --check it outyyyy!! ❤️❤️❤️ full-stop.net/2024/01/17/rev…

"Suneja’s debut novel asks what it means to both belong to and resist categories of geography, religion, caste, and time." @mr_gusaroni reviews HOUSE OF CARAVANS by Shilpi Suneja (@Shilpits)—out now from @Milkweed_Books: full-stop.net/2024/01/17/rev….

Still out here talking about partitions, borders, and love across borders: its necessity, its impossibility. Thank you to @_preetysidhu and @ElectricLit for the conversation. "By loving each other, are we making the world a better place or not?" electricliterature.com/shilpi-suneja-…

I’m horrified to see the bombing of al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza and unequivocally condemn it. I urge the Israeli government to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and reiterate the call for a ceasefire. I am directing $300K to three charities helping Palestinian people under attack.

“The power of this novel…is that it shows how cruelly history treats individuals...House of Caravans is a triumph of realism—if you can bear it.” A deeply insightful and penetrating review of HOUSE OF CARAVANS. Thank you @dianegreco for your words!!! westtradereview.homestead.com/westendsunejar…

Can’t wait to chat with @rishi_reddi tomorrow at @HarvardBooks !!!

Thank you @lithub for giving space to Partition narratives so we can unpack the tragedy that continues to dictate South Asian identity.

Thank you for the shoutout @Raheelk 😊🙏🏾❤️

It’s pub day for HOUSE OF CARAVANS!!! 🍊📔🍊📔🍊📔🍊📔

@SohrabFracis Yes, Khushwant Singh’s book is important, but I wanted to highlight lesser-known texts that deal with the long shadow :)

@Shilpits Yes, so foundational to modern South Asia. Also Khushwant Singh's Train to Pakistan (1956)? Haven't read it but it was close to the actual time of Partition & sounds hard-hitting.

I put together this reading list on Partition for LitHub. The epic tragedy that killed 1 million people and uprooted 13 million takes years to understand and unpack. These books make it easier: lithub.com/mystery-mayhem…
