At once a genre-defying novelist, a major postcolonial thinker and one of literature’s most influential voices on climate change, his diverse body of work has earned him India’s highest literary honour, two lifetime achievement awards and seen him be named by Foreign Policy as one of the decade’s most important global thinkers.
In 2025 he also became the 12th writer – joining the likes of Margaret Atwood, David Mitchell and Ocean Vuong – to submit a manuscript to Norway’s Future Library project, to be locked away until 2114.
Simon Wilson meets him to reflect on an impressive oeuvre, and introduce Ghost-Eye, his new novel which explores memory, reincarnation and our planet’s fragility.
