- **Event Description**: Join us to celebrate Nina McConigley’s debut novel which has been described as “spirited and witty, stylish and audacious.”About this EventPraised by Maggie Shipstead as "utterly unique" and Celeste Ng for its "razor-sharp wit" award-winning author, Nina McConigley joins us with her new title How to Commit a Postcolonial M**der. McConigley’s bold, inventive, and fiercely original debut novel begins with an uncle dead and his tween niece’s private confession to the reader—she and her sister killed him, and they blame the British.Summer, 1986. The Creel sisters, Georgie Ayyar and Agatha Krishna, welcome their aunt, uncle and young cousin—newly arrived from India—into their house in rural Wyoming where they’ll all live together. Because this is what families do. That is, until the sisters decide that it’s time for their uncle to die.According to Georgie, the British are to blame. And to understand why, you need to hear her story. She details the violence hiding in their house and history, her once-unshakeable bond with Agatha Krishna, and her understanding of herself as an Indian-American in the heart of the West. Her account is, at every turn, cheeky, unflinching, and infectiously inflected with the trappings of teendom, including the magazine quizzes that help her make sense of her life. At its heart, the tale she weaves is:a) a vivid portrait of an extended familyb) a moving story of sisterhoodc) a playful ode to the 80sd) a M**der mystery (of sorts)e) an unexpected and unwaveringly powerful meditation on history and language,trauma and healing, and the meaning of independenceOr maybe it’s really:f) all of the above.About the authorNina McConigley is the author of the story collection Cowboys and East Indians, which was the winner of the PEN/Open Book Award and the High Plains Book Award.
