Ep 20: Memories of Innocence
Manage episode 312504848 series 3236939
Let’s make it clear: Not all novels about childhood are for kids - even the pleasant ones. But reading about our golden childhood years in our adulthood gives us satisfaction like perhaps nothing else. In this episode, we talk about two books that recapture those years and make us nostalgic for a time, a place, and a certain light of day.
This is episode #20 of Bookasur, talking about Ribbon Pakodas, Bangalore weather, Happiness Machines, Swami and Friends, and the inevitable grandfather.
Books featured:
What’s Wrong with you, Karthik? By Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, pub. by Picador India
