It gave me great pleasure to join five other South Asian writers: Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai, Suketu Mehta and Akhil Sharma to put on a benefit reading for Obama on October 4. The event was organized by author Meera Nair, and emceed by film maker Mira Nair. Suketu had a great party at his house afterwards. We ended up raising $56,000 for Obama! Here's more on it on Sepia Mutiny.
