Arjun Raghavan's writing moves between personal narrative and cultural criticism, always searching for where the two intersect. His memoir "The House on Benson Road" traces three generations of his Tamil Brahmin family against the backdrop of a changing Bangalore. Trained as an art historian at Yale, Raghavan has curated exhibitions at the Kiran Nadar Museum and written extensively on contemporary Indian art. His criticism appears regularly in Art India and Frieze. His second book, "Impossible Returns," explores the meaning of home for those who can never quite arrive or depart. He was awarded a Windham-Campbell Prize for nonfiction in 2024.
