About the Book THE MEMOIR OF ONE OF INDIA'S ICONIC WRITERS, LISTEN TO ME IS CANDID, INSIGHTFUL AND MEMORABLE Shashi Deshpande's name is synonymous with Indian writing in English. Everyone you know has read her. Deshpande's novels, with their assertive and modern themes, are as urgent today as when they were first published. Yet, little is known about her. She is famously reticent. In Listen to Me, Deshpande opens up about her life and work. She writes about being a writer and a feminist and the shaping of these selves. She draws us into her world: growing up in Dharwad as Kannada litterateur Shriranga's daughter, moving to Bombay as a student, figuring out her identity as a newly married woman and negotiating the unfamiliar world of Indian publishingand always, always her love of reading. As she talks about influences, detractors and challenges, the genesis of her own work shines through.

About the Author Novelist and short story writer, Shashi Deshpande has eleven novels, two crime novellas, a number of short story collections, a book of essays, and four children's books to her credit. Three of her novels have received awards, including the Sahitya Akademi award for That Long Silence. Her latest novels are Shadow Play and Strangers to Ourselves. She has translated works from Kannada and Marathi into English, and her own work has been translated into various Indian and European languages. Shashi Deshpande has participated in literary conferences and festivals, as well as lectured in universities, both in India and abroad. She was awarded the Padma Shri in 2009. …
