Join us to discuss a Booker Prize winning book by Kiran Desai called, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny. This book is available to order from Coupang and Amazon among many other sellers.

With the narrative taking place mostly between 1996 and 2002, the novel tells the story of Sonia and Sunny, both Indian, one a student in Vermont, and the other a recent graduate from Columbia planning to immigrate to the United States, whose families are long acquainted before they first encounter one another on a train in India. The meeting leads to an extended romance between the two young characters through the thrum and churn of the post colonial world.

We will meet at Noop Cafe in Yongsan which serves coffee, tea, pizza and pasta. This restaurant offers terrific views of Namsan tower and the city below. If we’re lucky, we can even sit outside!
