An Interview with Rishi Reddi, Author of Karma and Other Stories

Welcome to episode 11 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

This time, we talk with Rishi Reddi, author of Karma and Other Stories. The book is a collection of inter-related short stories that creates a densely-layered picture of the lives of Indian families living in the United States. Rishi herself was born in India, and grew up in the U.S. She has said that she wrote these stories to help her understand how feeling like an outsider in both cultures has influenced her life.

Karma and Other Stories is available at bookstores and online retailers now.
