About the author
David Chariandy is a Vancouver-based Canadian writer and an associate professor in SFU's English Department, with specialties in contemporary fiction, as well as interdisciplinary theories of postcoloniality, diaspora and race. His novel, Brother, set in Toronto's immigrant Scarborough neighbourhood, where the author grew up, was published last fall to critical acclaim. The book was awarded the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize, in addition to being long-listed for the Scotiabank Giller Prize, as was his first novel, Soucouyant, in 2007.
This spring McClelland & Stewart will publish I've Been Meaning to Tell You: A Letter to My Daughter, a work of non-fiction that addresses the politics of race in the form of a letter to the author's daughter.
