GAUTAM MALKANI reading & book signing for "Londonstani" Monday, July 17th at 7 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
Gautam Malkani's debut novel, Londonstani, is set among the South Asian rudeboys of London's Houndslow section. Hilarious and grim, raucous and anguished, this extraordinary comic novel portrays the lives of young Muslim, Sikh, and Hindu men in the ethnically charged enclave where all is in flux.
Gautam Malkani was born in West London in 1976. He was educated at Cambridge University and was appointed director of the Financial Times's Creative Business section in 2005. He completed "Londonstani" shortly after the bombings in London last July.
