A Love Letter To Europe
02/01/2021 Duración: 10minA piece I wrote for the book A Love Letter To Europe, published by Coronet in 2020. It's about how great twin towns can be - even if (especially if!) you're a cynical teenager in the North of England in the 1990s. (Photo is from a school play. I was Lane the butler in The Importance Of Being Earnest. That's why I'm dressed all posh.)

Galley Beggar Podcast #9 Preti Taneja
01/05/2020 Duración: 28min"I last saw Jeet at the last public event I attended before the UK’s pandemic lockdown – it was in London, for a memorial. After the service, we drank, and talked; and mingled briefly in the crowd; we parted without saying goodbye. So this book as an object holds layers of meaning: memories of travel and of both happy and sad times spent with friends." Preti Taneja thinks about the writer Jeet Thayil and reads from Fulcrum NO. 4, an edition in which Thayil edited a selection of 56 Indian poets under the (beautiful!) title Give the Sea Change and It Shall Change. Writers Preti references include: Henry Derozio, Nissim Ezekiel, Srikanth Reddy, Mukta Sambrani. She also discusses Threads, by Sandeep Parmar, Bhanu Kapil and Nisha Ramayya and Debt Night, a piece she herself wrote in Detours.
