"In Spite of the Gods" Author Talk at Shirlington - 12/07


Join the Shirlington Branch Library and Signature Theatre tonight when Edward Luce discusses his book In Spite of the Gods: The rise of modern India, at 7 p.m. The event takes place at Signature Theatre (next door to the Shirlington Library) and is free and open to the public. A book signing will follow the discussion at Busboys and Poets.

In Spite of the Gods looks at the forces shaping India as it tries to balance the stubborn traditions of the past with an unevenly modernizing present. Deeply informed by scholarship and history, leavened by humor and rich in anecdote, it shows that India has huge opportunities as well as tremendous challenges that make the future "hers to lose."


Part of the Planet Arlington Lecture Series, this event is also co-sponsored by the Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation, Division of Cultural Affairs; Busboys and Poets and the Cultural Exchange Store.
