Siddharth Dey's fiction refuses easy categorization. His novels blend autofiction, essay, and visual elements to create reading experiences that are as much about how we tell stories as what we tell. His debut, "The Book of Unwritten Things," was printed in a limited edition that required readers to cut apart and reassemble the pages. His second novel, "Notes Toward a Supreme Fiction," exists simultaneously as a book, an app, and an art installation. Dey studied philosophy at JNU and new media at MIT Media Lab. He has been writer-in-residence at the Sarai Programme and the Tate Modern. Despite his experimental approach, or perhaps because of it, he insists that all his work is ultimately about love.
