In this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome back Kirthana Ramisetti to discuss her third novel, The Other Lata, which explores themes of identity, self-discovery, and belonging through the story of Lata Murthy, an aspiring writer in New York City.
We chat with Kirthana about the complexities of Lata's character, her journey of taking on another person's identity, and the dynamics of her relationships with family and friends. Kirthana reveals the personal inspiration behind the novel, the challenges of navigating adulthood, and what it was like to write the romantic elements of the novel. We loved hearing about how her writing is inspired by the rhythm of reality TV shows, particularly during the revision process.
The Other Lata is out now!
