Take imaginative flight with two international novelists whose work takes us to truly marvellous realms. Gurnaik Johal (Somerset Maugham Award-winner for story collection, We Move) presents his debut novel, Saraswati, where a mythical holy river flowing again causes personal and political turmoil. Meanwhile, Madeleine Thien’s philosophical The Book of Records sees a woman and her father arrive at the Sea: a fantastical place containing intellectual migrants and refugees from throughout history. In conversation with Sana Goyal.
