📖 About the Author

Zara Chowdhary is a writer and lecturer at the University of Wisconsin with an MFA in Creative Writing and Environment from Iowa State University and a master's in Writing for Performance from the University of Leeds. She has written for documentary television, advertising, and film and currently lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her partner, child, and two cats.


📘 About the Book The Lucky Ones

A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year, The Lucky Ones is a powerful memoir that weaves personal and political history, recounting Zara’s harrowing experience surviving anti-Muslim violence in contemporary India. At sixteen, she and her family were forced into hiding for three months as their city was overtaken by brutal sectarian violence, an event that shaped the course of India’s political future. Hailed by NPR and Time, this gripping story is a must-read.

Don’t miss this chance to meet a remarkable author and hear her powerful story firsthand. Mark your calendar and join us for an evening of conversation, literature, and community.
