But Nivedita's life and sense of self begin to unravel when it emerges that Saraswati is actually white.

Dumped by her boyfriend and disowned by her friends in the uproar Nivedita is drawn to her supervisor in search of answers not only about Saraswati's identity but also around her own.

A darkly comedic tour de force astutely translated by Alta L. Price Identitti showcases the outsized power of social media in the current debates around identity politics and the power of claiming your own voice.
