Following on from the Naqvi visit tomorrow (please come) we have Akhil Sharma coming to see us on Friday February 4 (that's next Friday). Sharma has written one novel, An Obedient Father, but it's won two awards and has generated a lot of controversy. It's about a corrupt government official who abuses his own daughter. His crimes come out many years later, and his daughter takes her revenge. See here to check out the controversy.
Sharma will be in the PG2 classroom, not the AV room, as there is another talk happening there at 3, and we don't want it to clash.
