Disinheritance: The Rediscovered Stories of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala (1927–2013)

Join us for a conversation on the remarkable life and literary legacy of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, whose distinguished career included a Booker Prize and two Academy Awards. We are honored that Ruth’s daughter, Firoza Jhabvala, a member of IKAR, will join us to reflect on her mother’s work and enduring influence.

In advance of the discussion, you are invited to explore one of the following related events:
May 4 at 6:30 PM at Chevalier’s Books on Larchmont, where three authors will discuss Ruth’s influence on their own writing; or
June 25 at 11:00 AM via Zoom with the Leo Baeck Institute, featuring director James Ivory, Ruth’s longtime collaborator, and Wall Street Journal book reviewer Sam Sacks in conversation about her work.
