2020-04-132h 33BookasurEp 7: Good Place for a ScareHow much of the appeal of Horror fiction is in the setting? How much in the world building? Today, we discuss @almakatsu’s book The Deep, where she sets us up for scares on the fatal voyage of the Titanic. And then we talk of @andaleedwajid’s horror novel House of Screams, which takes you to a historic - and storied - area in Bangalore city.
This is episode #7 of Bookasur, talking about horror, setting, scares, and story and somehow working in both Raj Comics and Ramsay Brothers movies.

Especially those that are labours of love, that hold your hand and take you to places you’ve been too intimidated to enter. Amruta Patil (@hathoric) and Devdutt Pattanaik (@devduttmyth) riff off Indian Spiritual texts to create a fresh take. And Apostolos Doxiadis (@apdox) and Christos Papadimitriou give us a layered, unconventional biography of modern mathematics through the eyes of Bertrand Russell.
This is episode #6 of Bookasur, talking about two amazing comics that make you go, “why didn’t I read these before?”

Madhuri Vijay writes about a Bangalore girl who goes off the beaten paths in Kashmir, looking for a tenuous connection to her past, in her highly acclaimed debut literary novel. Onaiza Drabu retells the stories that the Kashmiri folk tell each other, around the fire, on chilly winter nights. And P. S. Nissim, in reviewing these books, has something to say about how literary fiction contrasts with folk tales.
This is episode #5 of Bookasur, connecting two very different treatments of the beautiful state of Kashmir.

There’s discovering a familiar city through new eyes, and there’s going to a place that’s remote in place and time. In this episode, Meera Iyer shows us her city, Bengaluru, as a place full of surprises, heritage, and trivia. Then, Dervla Murphy, tells us of a visit to Gilgit and Baltistan - in the dead of winter - and with her 6-year-old daughter along with her.
This is episode #4 of Bookasur, connecting two books from very different times and authors, but with similarly appealing spirits of adventure.

2020-02-2621 minBookasurEp 3: Pangat and RasachandrikaSaee Koranne-Khandekar (@Saeek) walks us through Maharastrian culture via its food, in her new recipe book. Then, we roll back to a cookbook originally published in 1943, which chronicled the society of the time, even as it told young housewives what to do with the day’s find in the vegetable market. Why would a book review show pick up cookbooks, especially when I can’t really cook anything more than Maggi? Tune in to find out.
This is episode #3 of Bookasur, where the show begins to go off into uncharted territory. Fingers crossed!

This was the first episode of Bookasur, recorded late in 2019. It's very much a "pilot" episode, but I think it covers the kind of themes that you'll see in future episodes as well.
