Priya Gadagkar

Priya Gadagkar was born and raised in India. She spent her childhood in Pune savoring spicy stuffed brinjals (eggplants), speaking the Marathi language, and pondering the grace and complexity of the sari amidst inspiring stories of India’s struggle for freedom and for social reform. Years later, Priya continues to explore the intricacies of power, space, and human behavior to feed her ever-growing 'writerlust.' A budding yogi, a committed wine enthusiast, and a public school teacher in her current avatar, Priya lives in California with her husband, her daughter, and her cappuccino.
