Acclaimed Indian author Vikram Chandra left film school to begin writing. He won the Commonwealth Writers’ Prize for Best First Book and appeared in a New Yorker photo of "India's leading novelists" in 1997.

Chandra forces us to re-evaluate stories from and about India. His latest novel, Sacred Games, has a policeman, a criminal overlord, a Bollywood film-star, beggars, cultists, spies and terrorists, together with lives of the privileged, famous, wretched and bloodthirsty all woven into the chaos of modern Mumbai.

Don’t miss his talks at the Man Hong Kong International Literary Festival from March 11-19.
