About the Author
Hari Kunzru is an acclaimed British-Indian author whose novels deftly explore themes of identity, migration, and cultural dislocation in a globalized world. Born in London to an Indian father and British mother, Kunzru draws on his diverse heritage to craft narratives that bridge East and West, often with a sharp satirical edge. His debut novel, The Impressionist, a panoramic tale of a shape-shifting Anglo-Indian during the twilight of the Raj, earned him widespread recognition and the Somerset Maugham Award. In Transmission, he turns to the digital age, following an Indian programmer's chaotic journey in Silicon Valley and its viral repercussions across the globe. Kunzru's work, which also includes critically praised books like Gods Without Men and White Tears, reflects a profound engagement with postcolonial legacies and the absurdities of modern life, establishing him as a vital voice in contemporary literature.
