Tara Menon's stunning debut, Under Water, and Cecile Pin's exquisite Celestial Lights are two haunting novels of retrospection, in which private lives are altered by forces far larger than themselves: a lost friend on a post-tsunami Thai island; a husband and father hurtling towards a distant moon. From ecological catastrophe to the costs of ambition, they open up a poignant conversation about memory, love, sacrifice, and the ways we hold on to the people who define us. Chaired by Rachelle Atalla.
