Hoovers Bookstore Big Event
Book Signing
Madhu Gupta
Hoovers Bookstore, corner of Masby St. and 3rd Ave., from 6 pm to 7 pm on May 13 World-renowned Indian author Madhu Gupta will be in the store to sign copies of her much-anticipated autobiography. The book, entitled Madhu, traces her life from the streets of Mumbai to her success as a novelist. It gives readers a chance to see inside the mind of this creative genius.
Ms. Gupta will deliver a short speech at the start of the event. She will then be available to sign copies of the book and chat with her fans. Tickets for this event are limited, so please visit Hoovers Bookstore to reserve yours right away.
Madhu *****
Madhu Gupta’s long-awaited autobiography lives up to all expectations. She promised to write the book nearly a decade ago, but continued putting off the project because she claimed it was too difficult to write. Now that it is finished, it is not hard to see why she felt this way. The early chapters show that she had a very troubled childhood. As a homeless orphan in Mumbai, she was in a desperate and dangerous situation. Her life changed when she was adopted by a kind elderly couple. Her new parents, Sanjeev and Sunita, taught her how to read and write, and she discovered a passion for language and literature.
Madhu is a deeply moving story. Like Gupta’s best works of fiction, it features vivid descriptions of particular scenes. The characters are also very clearly and cleverly described. What the story lacks, however, is Gupta’s famous sense of humor, especially in the first half of the book. There are no light or amusing episodes to keep the reader entertained. At a recent book signing at Hoovers Bookstore in NewYork, Gupta admitted that she had intentionally made the tone as heavy and serious as possible because she wanted the book to be an intense emotional experience. She has certainly succeeded in her aim.
Madhu is not the sort of book you can pick up for a quick read. It is, however, a book that will challenge you and make you think deeply. In my opinion, Madhu is the best work of non-fiction published so far this year.
