Books Chai & More Every 2nd Sunday of the Month

Raah Book Club, will be discussing the book "Bestiary: Selected Stories" by Julio Cortazar. A grieving family home becomes the site of a terrifying invasion. A frustrated love triangle, brought together by a plundered Aztec idol, spills over into brutality. A lodger’s inability to stop vomiting bunny rabbits inspires a personal confession. As dream melts into reality, & reality melts into nightmare, one constant remains throughout these thirty-five stories: the singular brilliance of Julio Cortazar’s imagination. Before the discussion, we will screen the film "Blow-Up," (Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni) based on the story of the same name. The discussion will be led by Sameer Joshi, an artist & a poet. He is a Professor of English with the University of Maryland, US.
