NEW YORK — A brand new novel from Kiran Desai, her first fiction because the Booker Prize-winning “The Inheritance of Loss” got here out almost 20 years in the past, will likely be printed subsequent fall.
Desai’s “The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny” is scheduled for launch in September by Hogarth, an imprint of the Random Home Publishing Group. Hogarth is asking the novel “a sweeping story” of two Indians discovering their means within the U.S. amidst private and historic forces.
“Utilizing the comedian lens of an endlessly unresolved romance between two trendy Indians, ‘The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny’ examines Western and Japanese notions and manifestations of affection and solitude as they play out throughout the geographical and emotional terrain of right now’s globalized world,” Desai mentioned in an announcement Wednesday. “I feel solely a novel can get on the uncooked reality relating to what individuals are privately pondering and negotiating.”
The 53-year-old Desai debuted in 1998 with “Hullabaloo within the Guava Orchard,” the comedian story of a younger man who chooses to spend his life in a tree. Eight years later, she acquired worldwide approval for “The Inheritance of Loss,” launched within the U.S. by Atlantic Month-to-month Press. Winner of the Booker and the Nationwide E book Critics Circle award, her novel follows the lives of an undocumented Indian immigrant within the U.S. and of an Anglicized Indian abroad within the state of West Bengal. Desai was 35 when she acquired the Booker, the youngest girl on the time to win the prize.
Desai’s editor at Hogarth, David Ebershoff, mentioned in an announcement that her new e-book is “an expansive story of a number of generations, a novel infused with equal quantities of coronary heart and thoughts.”
