Gold Diggers
IN CONVERSATION WITH SANJENA SATHIAN, an award winning author with moderator CHAITALI SEN, author.
Sanjena Sathian's debut novel GOLD DIGGERS is a magical realist coming of age story; Gold Diggers skewers the model minority myth to tell a hilarious and moving story about immigrant identity and community and the underside of ambition. A work of 24-Karat genius.
- Ron Charles, The Washington Post
