Celebrating a new memoir by Booker Prize-nominated novelist and distinguished mathematician Manil Suri, in conversation with Marion Winik! Inspired by the 2,700 letters Manil wrote to his mother after moving to the US at twenty, A Room in Bombay centers around the crumbling, single-room apartment he and his parents grew up in. Manil masterfully delivers a heart-wrenching story of a son’s love, a mother’s obsession, and the malevolent grip of a past that won’t let go.
