Anger of Aubergines: Stories of Women and Food by Bulbul Sharma

4.0

Fascinating short stories about Indian women and the significance of food in their lives at levels larger than the culinary. The stories are simple and realistic, and very relatable. The subtle presence of rules of cooking and commensality according to different traditions, sometimes oppressive, sometimes ridiculous add a touch of poignant humour. Food becomes a theater of conflict and a site of rebellion for the women in this book.
