Book Club: Lets Talk Members Only With Author Sameer Pandya

Published: Aug. 14, 2020, 8 a.m.

We\u2019re all human, but who has the right to make mistakes? That\u2019s a question at the heart of Members Only, the debut novel from author Sameer Pandya. In it, Raj Bhatt's life falls apart after he makes a racist remark to an African-American couple at a posh tennis club.

In this Nerdette Book Club author interview, host Greta Johnsen talks with Pandya about the weaponization of the term \u201ccancel culture,\u201d why a tennis club serves as the setting for a story about Indian-American identity and who gets to recover from their mistakes.

Listen to this spoiler-free conversation with Pandya and then join us later this month for a panel discussion on Members Only.
