03 Dec / The Red Letters: My Father’s Enchanted Period by Ved Mehta [in AsianWeek]

Red LettersThe final installation in Mehta’s 11-title series, Continents of Exile, explores his father’s love affair with another woman, documented through their love letters – the eponymous Red Letters. Written without judgment following the deaths of all those involved, Mehta’s story is charming, even as it proves to be bittersweet.

Tidbit: Vehta was one of our many lauded guests at SALTAF 2004 [South Asian Literary and Theater Arts Fesival], the first of many SALTAFs held at the Smithsonian.
