Boston-based author Sena Desai Gopal is a long-time journalist and first-time novelist. She’s set her debut novel ‘The 86th Village’ in her ancestral village in Karnataka which has been devastated by flooding caused by the Upper Krishna dam project. Hundreds of villages have already been completely submerged, and Sena’s beloved hometown is next. She's taken her skills as a science and travel journalist to the world of fiction in creating what Criminal Element calls one of the “Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022”.
Join me as Sena and I chat about her idyllic childhood in the village where her novel is set, what large mega-dams often mean for marginalized local communities, and her journalism work on beef exports from India, kebabs in Turkey and much more!
