Over dit product

Product Information

First published by a small press in India, Jerry Pinto s devastatingly original debut novel has already taken the literary world by storm. Suffused with compassion, humor, and hard-won wisdom, "Em and the Big Hoom "is a modern masterpiece, and its American publication is certain to be one of the major literary events of the season.Meet Imelda and Augustine, or as our young narrator calls his unusual parents Em and the Big Hoom. Most of the time, Em smokes endless "beedies "and sings her way through life. She is the sun around which everyone else orbits. But as enchanting and high-spirited as she can be, when Em s bipolar disorder seizes her she becomes monstrous, sometimes with calamitous consequences for herself and others. This accomplished debut is graceful and urgent, with a one-of-a-kind voice that will stay with readers long after the last page."

Reviews
It is utterly persuasive and deeply affecting:stylistically adventurous it is never self-indulgent; although suffused withpain it shows no trace of self-pity. Parts of it are extremely funny, and itspages are filled with endearing and eccentric characters. Em and the BigHoom is a profoundly moving book: I cannot remember when I last readsomething as touching as this., Pinto's debut offers a heartbreaking glimpse into the daily horrors and sometimes humors of growing up with a mentally ill parent...Even in her many betrayals, Em is charming; the narrator's depiction of her is unflinching and honest, and relayed in a tidy voice that's nearly matter-of-fact. The result is a trim but deeply felt first novel that successfully navigates some difficult territory--identity, madness, our obligations to one another--without ever becoming bogged down., Deeply engrossing, finely tuned, and told witha moving and luminous clarity, this is a splendid and memorable debut., Although it's set in India, Em and theBig Hoom is a relevant and resonant book for any audience, anywhere,transcending territory and nationality even as it reflects upon them. It is agreat big wide novel with a voice so unique and yet, somehow, so familiar thatits words ring in your ears long after you've left these pages, calling youback, again and again, to a story that demands to be read., Pinto chases the elusive portrait of a motherwho simply said of herself that she was mad. As I read the novel, that alsoportrays a very tender marriage and the life of a Goan family in Bombay, itdrowned me. I mean that in the best way. It plunged me into a world so vividand capricious that when I finished, I found something had shifted and changedwithin myself. This is a world of magnified and dark emotion. The anger is aprimal force, the sadness wild and raw. Against this, the jokes are hilarious,reckless, free falling...This is a rare, brilliant book, one that is wonderfullydifferent from any other that I have read coming out of India., Em and the Big Hoom is a beautifulbook, a child's-eye view of madness and sorrow, full of love, pain, and, unaccountably,much wild comedy. One of the very best books to come out of India in a long,long time.
