Treading new ground | Ananya Vajpeyi's 'Place: Intimate Encounters with Cities'

In Place: Intimate Encounters with Cities, author Ananya Vajpeyi not only takes the reader across the globe through her experiences, but also into the internal landscape of humanity. The central premise of this collection of essays written over 25 years and spanning 13 cities is that ‘place’ is not merely a set of GPS coordinates or a patch of soil; it is a vessel for memory, culture and the sacred.
