When Aneesha returns to Chicago for the summer, all she wants to do is write and carouse with friends. Maybe rekindle things with her old flame, Whitney, who has a serious new job and relationship. Aneesha weaves through dance parties, dive bars, and all-night Mexican joints on her bike, but keeping old friends is complicated in this charming debut novel from Kamala Puligandla.
Kamala Puligandla is a writer and activist originally from Oakland, CA. She attended Oberlin, received her MFA from UC Riverside and is deputy editor of the queer website Autostraddle. She writes about the radical, queer, minority experience from her home in LA.
"Kamala Puligandla's Zigzags is a tender story about community as family, a love letter to a city and a season. This novel feels like summer, its tangle of bodies, all its sticky longing." –Safia Elhillo, Author of The January Children
