Em and The Big Hoom door Jerry Pinto
One of those books that'll stay with you for a long long time. Waiting for sufficient time to pass so that I can read this all over again.
I got interested in Jerry's work after listening to the 8-hour podcast with Jerry and Amit Varma. I decided to learn more about Jerry's work because the 8-hour conversation was so interesting, and I was fascinated by Jerry's worldview.
Murder in Mahim is my first read of Jerry Pinto. Frankly its not very gripping or thrilling as I had expected. But I still persisted through because I found his gaze and voice interesting. I am fascinated by Mumbai and to look at Mumbai thru the lens of a murder investigation procedure and the sub-culture of gays and cruelty caused by Section-377 is definitely worth a read.… (meer)

Wow. What a read. Like reading a story about someone who could be my aunt. Or my own mother - had I been able to bear sticking around... Exhausting and beautiful
Set in Bombay in the late part of the last century, this is a surprisingly sensitive book. I was not sure of what to expect when I started reading the book.
Was it a funny book, something ironic, with a sarcastic view on life? But no - and while it had its moments of humor and irony - it turned out to be an extremely sensitive book.
It is the portrayal of a family, written in the son's voice, which is struggling while managing the decline of the mother, as she succumbs to her mental problems.
It is not a topic that Indians like to discuss, and we always assume that someone else has these issues. But not us.
Read the book. It seems this is Jerry Pinto's first novel, and it is outstanding.… (meer)
