Indian Food & Fiction Happy Hour: The Last of Earth
About the event
Join us on October 24 for an evening of food, drinks, and discussion as we gather at 4:30 PM at Don't Tell Aunty in Back Bay to discuss *Last of Earth* by Deepa Anappara.
From the acclaimed author of *Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line*, Deepa Anappara's *Last of Earth* is a compelling work of speculative fiction that imagines a future shaped by climate change, migration, and profound social transformation. Blending literary storytelling with urgent contemporary themes, Anappara creates a world that feels both imaginative and strikingly relevant. At its heart, the novel explores questions of belonging, survival, family, and resilience. As characters navigate an uncertain future, they must confront what they are willing to preserve, what they are forced to leave behind, and how communities adapt in times of extraordinary change. Richly imagined and emotionally resonant, the novel invites readers to reflect on our relationship with one another and with the planet we call home.
Whether you're a fan of literary fiction, speculative fiction, or simply enjoy books that spark meaningful conversation, *Last of Earth* offers plenty to discuss. As always, our gathering will be welcoming, informal, and open to all perspectives.
For this meetup, we're changing up our usual format and meeting for happy hour and dinner instead of lunch. Join us for great food, drinks, and conversation as we explore one of the year's most anticipated works of South Asian fiction. 📖 Book: *Last of Earth* by Deepa Anappara 📅 Date: October 24 🕟 Time: 4:30 PM 📍 Location: Don't Tell Aunty, Back Bay 🍹 Special Format: Happy Hour & Dinner Come for the fiction, stay for the food, drinks, and fellowship.
