Megha Majumdar in conversation with Nicole Chung for A BURNING
In June, we celebrated the release of Megha Majumdar’s debut novel, A Burning, with writer and editor Nicole Chung.
The trajectory of three characters’ lives are irrevocably changed in the aftermath of a shocking event. Gripping from start to finish, A Burning also offers a sharp commentary on inequality, corruption, and their consequences for individual agency. Megha Majumdar’s textured prose brings energy to this polyphonic novel with quick, elegant turns of phrase and attentive care for small details of her characters’ lives.
