The devastatingly original debut novel from a winner of the 2016
Windham-Campbell Prize for Fiction. "Profoundly moving . . . I
cannot remember when I last read something as touching as this."
-Amitav Ghosh, author of The Glass Palace First published by a
small press in India, Jerry Pinto's 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 beedis 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.
