Jeet Thayil: One Last Unending Night for the World

A conversation about the melancholic, apocalyptic present in Jeet Thayil’s work and about the balancing act of writing with precision while straddling genres. Drawing on the novels *Narcopolis* (trans. Bernhard Robben), “Low,” and “The Elsewhereans,” he discusses his work. This will be followed by a reading of poems about inspiration, memory, and loss—poems described as an “elegant yet haunting portrayal of the profound condition of being human in our time” (Frontline)—accompanied by the ILB House Band.
