Chandrani Ghosh Launches JLF New York Series With ‘Heartlines’

The series debut took place at Fontainhas, a venue in Brooklyn's DUMBO neighborhood, where Ghosh discussed her book with the audience. 'Heartlines' follows a love triangle set in Washington, D.C., and traces two centuries of journalism through the lens of immigrant experience.

Ghosh, an author and journalist, drew on her own background to explore themes of identity and belonging. The novel's narrative spans generations, connecting personal stories with the broader arc of media history.

The JLF New York Author Spotlight Series aims to bring South Asian writers to new audiences in the city. Future events are planned, though details have not been announced.

Fontainhas, known for its cultural programming, provided an intimate setting for the launch. Attendees had the opportunity to engage with Ghosh in a Q&A session following the discussion.
