THE HT EDUCATION BOOK CLUB IS BACK THIS DIWALI!
After a series of compelling, intelligent and very chaotic sessions over
the summer holidays, prepare to bring your wittiest best back this
Diwali, as the HT Education Book Club resumes. This time, we’re picking
your brain with a psychological story—to deconstruct with the book’s
author himself. No pressure! Em and The Big Hoom by Jerry Pinto is about
a family of four in Mahim, with a mentally disturbed mother, Em, who
repeatedly tries to kill herself. Em is an interesting protagonist,
punctuated fervently with sharp retorts, wildly oscillating mood swings
and a manic personality that leaves her family, her readers and, often,
herself, confused.
This novel is part memoir, based on the author’s mother and growing up years. Pinto, an awardwinning writer, is also a journalist and a college professor, and he will helm this session, be open to critique, and give you the rare opportunity to ask questions that go beyond rhetorical book discussions, so you can fetch concrete answers from the author himself.
When: November 10
