Brinda Charry on THE EAST INDIAN

"I have to transport myself, and only then I can transport my reader." Brinda Charry's novel, The East Indian, transports readers to Colonial Virginia to follow the life and adventures of a young Indian boy coming of age in the New World. Charry joins us to talk about her intensive research process, the effects of colonialism on the story, her love of world literature and more with Poured Over host, Miwa Messer.
