Imelda is eccentric and intelligent, and Augustine is smart and steady. ![]() Their long and chaste courtship takes place in bookshops where they never buy books, and eventually, with some family pressure, they decide to get married. ![]() ![]() It was while working in an office that she met Augustine Mendes, a dashing and upwardly mobile engineer who was also a Catholic from Goa. When she was old enough to work, she handed over her money to help support them. Imelda, or Em as her children called her, arrived in Goa from Burma with her Roman Catholic family before moving to Bombay. It is singular in its voice and characters but also reminiscent of other wonderful contemporary Indian writers like Rohinton Mistry, Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai." "EM AND THE BIG HOOM is a stunningly beautiful and devastatingly heartbreaking debut novel. He and his sister, Susan, are the witnesses to their mother's battle with bipolar disorder and their father's patient care of the woman he has loved for decades. Written with a witty and language-loving style, the story is told from the perspective of the only son of Imelda and Augustine. EM AND THE BIG HOOM is not a long novel, but it’s not a quick one either, as readers will find themselves pulled deeply into Jerry Pinto's tale of a family discombobulated by mental illness. ![]() Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() With exceptional courage, Jahanara dares to challenge the bigotry and blindness at court in an effort to spare the empire from civil war, and to save her father from his bellicose son, Aurangzeb, a man whose hatred would extinguish the Islamic enlightenment from the Mughal Empire.

With the discourse of social welfare all but evaporated, federal programs under presidents Johnson and Nixon promoted a new vision for racial justice: that the franchising of fast food restaurants, by black citizens in their own neighborhoods, could finally improve the quality of black life. But how did fast food restaurants so thoroughly saturate black neighborhoods in the first place? In Franchise, acclaimed historian Marcia Chatelain uncovers a surprising history of cooperation among fast food companies, black capitalists, and civil rights leaders, who - in the troubled years after King's assassination - believed they found an economic answer to the problem of racial inequality. Often blamed for the rising rates of obesity and diabetes among black Americans, fast food restaurants like McDonald's have long symbolized capitalism's villainous effects on our nation's most vulnerable communities. ![]() Kitchen table carrie mae weems7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() How do you feel about this series now, over 30 years on? It’s interesting. Here, Weems reflects on why it’s as relevant as ever. It’s now finally getting a stand-alone copy, out at the end of April from Damiani. And her Kitchen Table Series has been equally enduring, making its way into plenty of books and museums over the years. Since then, Weems has landed a MacArthur “genius grant” and around 50 solo shows, including the Guggenheim’s first retrospective of an African-American woman. She didn’t realize, though, that it would take on historical significance, too, paving the way for a generation of women artists concerned with their own representation, as well as in conversations of race and relationships to boot. ![]() ![]() Obsessive in telling the story of the woman she was playing-whom we follow through the course of relationships with her lover, her friends, and her daughter-Weems knew the series would be important to her. Decades ago in Northampton, Massachusetts, Carrie Mae Weems began devoting a part of every single day to photographing herself at her kitchen table. ![]() Renoir by Karin Sagner-Düchting7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of the Italian RenaissanceĮd. ![]() Herbert READ, Thames and Hudson Limited, London, 1994 The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Art and ArtistsĮd.
