Nikesh Shukla – Cardiff Book Festival

Nikesh  Shukla has become something of  a cultural powerhouse. His debut  novel, Coconut  Unlimited, was shortlisted  for the Costa first  novel award. The engine behind the gigantic success  of The  Good Immigrant,  Nikesh  Shukla oversaw the curation of a collection  of essays that became a national  bestseller, winning the Books Are My  Bag people’s choice award and landing  on the shortlist for Book of the Year at the  British Book Awards. His latest novel, The One Who Wrote Destiny, is a big-hearted,  charming carousel of  a novel about three generations  of the same family, riven by feuds  and falling-outs, united by fates and  fortunes. Chaired by BBC Wales’ Steve Duffy.
