The Rubin Museum of Art in Manhattan played host for the launch of Delhi Noir, a collection of stories by various Indian authors about murder, sex, and intrigue in India's capital. Edited by Hirsh Sawhney, the book presents fourteen authors, including Meera Nair, Siddharth Chowdhury, and Tabish Khair.
The event at the Rubin featured readings by actors Rita Wolf (My Beautiful Laundrette, Homebody Kabul) and Ajay Naidu (subUrbia, The Guru, Loins of Punjab Presents), as well as a conversation among Sawhney, Meera Nair, and journalist/novelist Pete Hamill, a contributor to Brooklyn Noir, the first installment of the series.
