Rushdie’s new novel recounts the long life of Pampa Kampana, who creates an empire from magic seeds in 14th-century India. Her world is one of peace, where men and women are equal and all faiths welcome, but the story Rushdie tells is of a state that forever fails to live up to its ideals.

A new box suddenly appears and there is Winfrey, holding Hill's novel in front of her. “I have an idea, why not choose it for Oprah's book club?” she says.

☆ Abraham Verghese’s Sweeping New Fable of Family and Medicine
  + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Andrew Solomon | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
THE COVENANT OF WATER, by Abraham VergheseAbraham Verghese occupies a curious place in the modern literary landscape. A doctor who decided midcareer to train at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, he has gone on to achieve distinction in both fields. His last novel, “Cutting for Stone,” spent more than two years on this newspaper’s best-seller list. By projecting his own best self, he hopes to coax out the best selves of others. The lack of ill intent or even ambivalence among the book’s many heroes can become cloying.
☆ Read Your Way Through Kerala, India
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( Abraham Verghese | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Read Your Way Around the World is a series exploring the globe through books. If you arrive in Kerala from elsewhere in India, you’ll feel as though you’ve landed in a different country — ­­­“God’s own country,” as Keralites like to say. Not surprisingly, the Gulf has shaped Kerala’s culture and literature. The territory sits between the Indian Ocean and the Western Ghats, the mountain range that runs parallel to the coast. I think it’s responsible for the fluid facial movements that allow Malayalis to convey volumes without uttering a word.
