A WRITER’S DHARMA
SOME OF MY FONDEST NEW YORK MEMORIES HAVE INVOLVED UNOFFICIAL DEBATES late at night at Suketu Mehta’s NYU apartment, where groups of us have discussed race, identity politics, or watched old Bollywood music videos, over glasses of whiskey. Or, at times, we have ventured out to try a new Azerbaijani or Georgian restaurant deep in Brooklyn. I am so grateful to call Suketu a close friend, confidante, and a fellow adventurer. His latest book, This Land Is Our Land:, is a testament to this writer’s deep connection with humanity, his indefatigable journalistic integrity, and a sense of urgency to wake us all up.
