San Diego author Madhushree Ghosh's discusses 'Khabaar: An Immigrant Journey of Food, Memory, and Family' during an April 6 virtual event with Warwick's bookstore
It was the last of the three guavas Ghosh’s father had brought home to the family, and while she knew in her dutiful-daughter heart that she should probably wait to share it with the rest of the household, the guava had other ideas.So she ate the guava, keeping a guilty silence when her sister, Didi, started looking for it. More than 40 years later, Ghosh is still engaged in a deep dialogue with food. But this time, she is not keeping the conversation to herself.
“This is how my brain works. I love the concept of a mosaic or a braided essay. It keeps the attention of the reader,” said the 51-year-old Ghosh, who will be discussing the book on April 6 at 4 p.m. during a Facebook Live event with Warwick’s bookstore. And like so many things in Ghosh’s life, that fascination with stories came with the ancestral territory.
Ghosh has written about her refugee parents, who walked from what is now Bangladesh to India during the 1947 Indian Partition that uprooted more than 10 million people. She wrote about the ways in which the late chef and author Anthony Bourdain honored the many contributions immigrants make to the food world.
