Gomathy Puri is an Indian Canadian writer who has lived most of her life working with different departments of the government in Winnipeg and Vancouver. Over time, all the years of professional writing and Gomathy’s own experience of migration came together to bring forth a keen creative writer. Gomathy writes both fiction and non fiction, and of course, an occasional poem. her first book-length work is a novel titled ‘Island Unto Ourselves’ (Larkuma 2012). The novel explores issues of migration and identity, change and love, struggles and friendships. Gomathy is working on her second novel, and she’s writing a book of creative (humorous) nonfiction.
Gomathy’s nonfiction includes articles where she has explored racism, ageing, and other aspects of life. Some of her writings are available here:
