Book Celebration: Prof Roy in Conversation with Prof Kinne and AUP senior Isabella Rao

University Room: David T. McGovern Grand Salon (C-104)
Tuesday, April 24, 2018 - 18:00 to 20:00

Join us for a festive and informal evening as we celebrate Professor Rika Roy's new book, The Postcolonial Epic: From Melville to Walcott and Ghosh.

Roy will be in conversation with Professor Elizabeth Kinne and AUP senior Isabella Rao, as she talks about the influences that shaped The Postcolonial Epic - her experiences as a student in Mumbai and Paris, and her classes on antiquity, business and postcolonialism at AUP. She will also share stories about the challenges of writing – and being read – that face us all in the information economy. 

Copies of the book will be available. Pizza and beverages will be served. 

Please RSVP to sroyataup.edu. External guests are welcome but are requested to RSVP at least 24 hours in advance and carry a valid ID to AUP.
