Open Chest Interview with Devyani Saltzman
The New York Times called her internationally published, freshman offering, Shooting Water, ‘a poignant memoir’. Devyani Saltzman ?rst came on the scene known to most as the daughter of acclaimed ?lm director, Deepa Mehta, but in a short span of only a few years, this self-professed ‘Hinju’ has become a force to be reckoned with in her own right.
At only twenty-eight young years, this formidable writer has completed a degree in human sciences and anthropology at Oxford University and penned for The Globe and Mail, Marie Claire and Tehelka (India’s weekly known for arts & investigative journalism). She is currently working feverishly on completing her ?rst ?ction novel while curating the literary program for this year’s multi-disciplinary arts festival, Luminato, scheduled to come alive in early June.
It’s no surprise then that given the opportunity to interview Saltzman, a talent I predict will be one of tomorrow’s most in?uential literary minds, I jumped at the chance of having a candid conversation with her about her childhood years and her coming to terms with her parents’ divorce, the much talked about estrangement between her and her mother, her journey to self-identity as a woman who grew up amidst the in?uences of two strong, religious backgrounds — Hinduism and Judaism, and her life’s muse, her writing.
