Author Interview

“Characters slowly define themselves”: An Interview with Bindu Suresh

Bindu Suresh’s new book, The Road Between Us (Assembly Press), is a moving, beautifully written novel that follows a cast of complex characters across countries, relationships, and emotional crossroads. Following her debut 26 Knots, she returns with a novel that’s both lyrical and gripping. We chatted with Bindu about her approach to character building and how she balances style with narrative.
