Collecting tasting menus and Kannada cinema in equal measure.
Samskara by U. R. Ananthamurthy
A Kannada classic about a village that can't decide who should cremate an outcast. Short but hits hard. The A. K. Ramanujan translation is the one to get. The afterword is worth reading too.
Em and the Big Hoom by Jerry Pinto
A Bombay family living with a mother's mental illness, told with so much love and humour. Keep tissues nearby. It's funny right up until it isn't.
