South Asian Readers Meetup

​Connect with other South Asian readers in NYC! Join us for an intimate evening of books, conversation, and community.

​Bring a book by a South Asian author or a read that’s shaped your understanding of South Asian identity, culture, diaspora, love, or belonging. We’ll swap recs, share reflections, and meet fellow readers building their reading lives with depth and intention.
