Neel Mukherjee has been called “one of the most original and talented authors working today.” In his new novel, Choice, he assembles a set of connected narratives that ask us how free we really are to make our own choices. From a London-based publisher set adrift by questions of how to live ethically, to an impoverished family on the West Bengal-Bangladesh border unmoored by the unexpected gift of a cow, Mukherjee confronts our fundamental assumptions about economics, race, appropriation, and the tangled ethics of contemporary life.
He speaks with novelist and editor-in-chief of T Magazine Hanya Yanagihara.
