The Good Immigrant

Ten years ago, The Good Immigrant was crowdfunded in three days, declared a Sunday Times bestseller, and described by Zadie Smith as 'a must-read'. The publishing industry had said no. The public said otherwise.

Now 21 voices asking what it really means to be ‘other’ in Britain — to grow up here, belong here, and still be made to feel like a guest in your own country —are back live on stage. To mark the book’s 10th anniversary, editor Nikesh Shukla chairs a live panel bringing together original contributors to The Good Immigrant, to reflect on what’s changed in Britain in the decade since publication, what hasn’t.

I’ll be with Nikesh Shukla, Wei Ming Kam, Varaidzo, Kieran Yates, Salena Godden, Dr Darren Chetty and Vera Cho.
