Hari Kunzru writes literary and speculative fiction about identity, technology, politics and the stories people use to understand themselves. The Impressionist follows a young man of mixed heritage repeatedly reinventing himself across colonial India and Britain, while Transmission centres on an Indian computer programmer whose actions spread a virus and disrupt corporate and personal lives across borders. White Tears begins with two young music obsessives in New York and turns a fabricated blues recording into a story about appropriation, race and haunting. Red Pill follows a writer whose residency in Germany becomes entangled with online extremism and paranoia. Kunzru's novels are restless, satirical and formally varied, often changing genre as the story develops. His work fits contemporary literary fiction, technology fiction and political satire, with useful overlap for readers of Zadie Smith and Mohsin Hamid. Read more Less
