Manahil Bandukwala hosts launches for new collections by Sanna Wani and Conyer Clayton.

Meditating on the beauty of an ordinary life, Sanna Wani’s Lantern explores how we fall in love and make a home. What does it mean to belong to a city, or to truly enter adulthood? Imbued with a quiet queerness, this book is a guide for living in the aftermath of familial rifts, crises of faith, political struggle, and intergenerational grief all while remaining devoted to an idea of goodness. Taking stock of one precious life, Lantern, invites us to consider our responsibilities to ourselves and each other and to choose who we might become.
