DESCRIPTION:Join Alberto Manguel and Anita Rau Badami for a lively discussi
 on of Kipling’s work in the context of multiculturalism\, colonialism\, an
 d modernity.\n\nHow complex was Kipling’s relationship to his native India
 ? Marking the first signs of a setting sun for the British Empire\, Rudyar
 d Kipling’s Traffic and Discoveries shows the author grappling with new te
 chnology and new politics\, all while retaining his supremely keen eye for
  vivid imagery and sensory detail. An annotated manuscript of the work\, w
 hich Kipling gave to the University in 1907\, provides precious insight in
 to his creative process.\n\nDoors open for a light reception at 5 PM.\n\nR
