Looking for exotic tales heaped in spice and frangipani? Desperate for the comfort of villainous, devoutly oppressive parents in your next read? Or maybe it’s sultry, sari clad damsels you’re pining after? Well, you’ll have to look elsewhere. In Too Asian, Not Asian Enough, what you’ll find instead is a startlingly diverse and original collection of new stories from some of the brightest new talent among British Asian writers. This event sees the launch of this cliché-demolishing anthology, and the chance to engage with the authors and hear a selection of their stories – funny, shocking, moving, and thought-provoking.
