Megha Majumdar was born and raised in Kolkata, India, and moved to the United States to attend college at Harvard University, where she was a Traub Scholar. In her debut novel A BURNING she writes with dazzling assurance at a breakneck pace on complex themes such as class, fate, corruption, justice, and what it feels like to face profound obstacles and yet nurture big dreams in a country spinning toward extremism. Let's join Megha Majumdar in conversation with her editor Jordan Pavlin.
