Chandrani Ghosh Launches JLF New York Series With ‘Heartlines’

The event, held at the Fontainhas venue in DUMBO, marked the first installment of the new series, which brings authors from the Jaipur Literature Festival to New York audiences.

Ghosh read from Heartlines, a novel that weaves a Washington, D.C. love-triangle narrative through two centuries of journalism and explores themes of immigrant identity.

The series is part of JLF's broader effort to connect with the Indian diaspora in the United States, offering a platform for literary voices from the subcontinent.

Attendees at the launch had the opportunity to engage with Ghosh in a discussion about the book's themes and the craft of writing, following the reading.
