Description
Amitava Kumar's Lunch with a Bigot is a collection of essays that explore the world through the lens of writing. The book weaves together memoir, reportage, and criticism to create a nuanced portrait of the writer's experience. Kumar shares encounters with fellow writers, such as Salman Rushdie and Arundhati Roy, as well as insights into the craft of writing and the struggles of a Bollywood actor. A central essay recounts Kumar's visit to an ultra-right Hindu organization that put him on a hit-list, offering a powerful exploration of immigration, change, and the complexities of a globalized existence. Through these essays, Kumar demonstrates how he practices being a writer in the world, crafting a broader narrative that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
