A can’t-miss event for readers of feminist fantasy, historical fiction, and retellings of epic proportions. Join us for an evening with bestselling author Vaishnavi Patel as she celebrates the release of her highly anticipated novel, Ten Incarnations of Rebellion. Building on the acclaim of her debut Kaikeyi, Patel returns with a powerful reimagining that blends myth, history, and revolution in a sweeping epic rooted in South Asian lore. The event will include a conversation (partner TBD), author Q&A, and book signing. “A meticulous interrogation of the mythmaking, contradictions, and sacrifices of revolution . . . Patel never writes the easy story; she writes the infuriating, frustrating, necessary story.”—R. F. Kuang, #1New York Timesbestselling author ofBabelVaishnavi Patel is the New York Times bestselling author of Kaikeyi and Goddess of the River. Her novels have been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Condé Nast Traveler, Bustle, and more. She is a lawyer specializing in civil rights litigation, including issues of gender and racial justice. Ten Incarnations of Rebellion is her third novel. From theNew York Timesbestselling author ofKaikeyicomes an epic and daring novel that imagines an alternate version of 1960s India that was never liberated from the British, and a young woman’s struggle to change the tides of history. Kalki Divekar grows up a daughter of Kingston—a city the British built on the ashes of Bombay. The older generation, including her father, have been lost to the brutal hunt for rebels. Young men are drafted to fight wars they will never return from. And the people of her city are more interested in fighting one another than facing their true oppressors.
When tragedy strikes close to home, Kalki begins to play a dangerous game with small acts of resistance, tempered by cautious, level-headed Yashu and fortified by Fauzia, whose dreams of the future awaken Kalki’s heart. Together, they found Kingston’s new independence movement, obtaining jobs working for the British while secretly planning to destroy the empire from the inside out. But one wrong move means certain death, and when facing threats from all quarters, Kalki must decide whether it’s more important to be a hero or to survive.
Set over the course of a decade and told as ten moments from Kalki’s life that mirror the Dashavatara, the ten avatars of Vishnu, Ten Incarnations of Rebellion is a sweeping, deeply felt speculative novel of empowerment, friendship, self-determination, and the true meaning of freedom.

I&#39;m a history buff and the national ww2 museum was a long awaited trip. It was an easy 20 mins walk from the French quarter. We ended up spending well past 5 hours here. There is just so much information to read and all very interesting. It&#39;s a well done exhibit and strongly recommended for those with an interest in history and world war 2 era.

Jackson Square

Historic buildings

小思文

Jackson Square is also a rather distinctive building. The area around here is not very prosperous. There are fewer people at night, and there are not many tour groups. There is a statue erected in the center of the square, but the specific history of the person is not very clear.

The French-speaking area of New Orleans is also a large area, and many things here can also be visited. The French-speaking area has some interesting little designs, which are designed according to different specifications of the layout here, and I like the appearance here.
