They were both working-class immigrants. His surname represents his Tamil and South Indian origins from his father&amp;#039;s side.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|last=Chariandy|first=David|title=I&amp;#039;ve Been Meaning to Tell You: A letter to my daughter|publisher=Maclelland &amp;amp; Stewart|year=2018|location=Canada}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chariandy has a [[Master of Arts]] from [[Carleton University]] and a [[Doctor of Philosophy|PhD]] from [[York University]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;underdog&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;quot;Meet the underdog; Newcomer David Chariandy may be surprise giant killer at Governor General&amp;#039;s Awards&amp;quot;. &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Calgary Herald]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, 25 November 2007.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; For many years he lived in [[Vancouver]] and taught in the Department of English at [[Simon Fraser University]].&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;underdog&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; In 2024 he joined the faculty of the [[University of Toronto]] as a Professor in the Department of English.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his work, he explores the truest meaning of origins and birthplace for immigrants and their children growing up in another part of the world but still belonging to another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chariandy&amp;#039;s family includes his wife and two children: a son and a daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Recurring themes and cultural contexts ==&lt;br /&gt;
Chariandy&amp;#039;s novels are set in Scarborough, an eastern region of [[Toronto]], Ontario. This area is known for its immigrant heavy population and has been sometime stigmatized by a reputation for crime, although statistics do not support this perception.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://toronto.citynews.ca/2007/01/10/scarborough-tries-to-clear-its-crime-rep/|title=Scarborough Tries To Clear Its &amp;quot;Crime&amp;quot; Rep|date=10 January 2007|website=CityNews|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090108060631/http://www.citynews.ca/news/news_6802.aspx|archive-date=8 January 2009|access-date=14 October 2019}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chariandy told the &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Toronto Star]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;If I’m honest, I always wanted to write a story that evoked the complexities of growing up young and Black in Scarborough...Throughout my entire life growing up in Scarborough and returning to it even as a young adult, I always felt so discomforted by the negative stories of Scarborough that would circulate in the newspapers and tabloids and sometimes by word of mouth, among people who really didn’t know Scarborough that well.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2017/09/22/david-chariandy-rewrites-scarborough-in-his-new-book-brother.html|title=David Chariandy rewrites Scarborough in his new book Brother|last=Patch|first=Nick|date=26 September 2018|website=The Toronto Star|access-date=14 October 2019|archive-date=14 October 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191014151027/https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/books/2017/09/22/david-chariandy-rewrites-scarborough-in-his-new-book-brother.html|url-status=live}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;His novels offer up a story of Scarborough that admit &amp;quot;challenges, but tell that bigger story of life and vitality that you don’t always see in headlines.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
His non-fiction book &amp;#039;&amp;#039;I’ve Been Meaning to Tell You: A Letter to My Daughter&amp;#039;&amp;#039; was inspired by both a racist incident he experienced while at a Vancouver restaurant with his three-year-old daughter and then, years later, by the [[Quebec City mosque shooting]] in 2017.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:1&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Chariandy&amp;#039;s novel &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Brother&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, the 2017 winner of the [[Rogers Writers&amp;#039; Trust Fiction Prize]] was optioned for film,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.cbc.ca/books/david-chariandy-s-novel-brother-optioned-for-film-with-clement-virgo-at-the-helm-1.4814237 &amp;quot;David Chariandy&amp;#039;s novel Brother optioned for film with Clement Virgo at the helm&amp;quot;] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211024203304/https://www.cbc.ca/books/david-chariandy-s-novel-brother-optioned-for-film-with-clement-virgo-at-the-helm-1.4814237 |date=2021-10-24 }}.
