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.

While June shouldn't be the only month you read queer lit, but if you've still not read UNFOLDING and many other fantastic books from this curated list by @mid_day Mumbai, you ABSOLUTELY must.

I am delighted to be a part of an online panel of the Indo-Korean lit festival organised by @ltikorea and I&Q collective with Sang Young Park (whose novel I loved).

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 :/

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

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.

"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.

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

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.

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).

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.

'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 .
