Inderjeet Mani

Inderjeet Mani’s first novel, Toxic Spirits, was inspired by his volunteer work with hill-tribes in Thailand’s Golden Triangle. Reactions to the novel include: “A complex and enthralling international intrigue with a treasure of remarkable detail” (Frederick Barthelme) and “Mani tells his story in taut, highly descriptive prose, capturing his Thai setting’s cornucopia of sights and tastes” (Kirkus Reviews). A former professor and Silicon Valley scientist, Mani’s six previous books (two of which have been translated into Japanese) include The Imagined Moment (on the computing of time in narrative) and other titles are from Oxford and MIT Press. His stories and essays have been published in 3:AM Magazine, Aeon, Apple Valley Review, Drunken Boat (Finalist for the Pan Literary Award, also one of Story South’s Million Writers Award Notable Stories of 2007), Eclectica, New World Writing, Nimrod (Finalist for Katherine Anne Porter Prize), PANK, Short Fiction Journal, Slow Trains, Storgy, Unsung Stories, Word Riot, and many other venues.
