Let’s make it clear: Not all novels about childhood are for kids - even the pleasant ones. But reading about our golden childhood years in our adulthood gives us satisfaction like perhaps nothing else. In this episode, we talk about two books that recapture those years and make us nostalgic for a time, a place, and a certain light of day.

This is episode #20 of Bookasur, talking about Ribbon Pakodas, Bangalore weather, Happiness Machines, Swami and Friends, and the inevitable grandfather.

Books featured:

What’s Wrong with you, Karthik? By Siddhartha Vaidyanathan, pub. by Picador India

Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury, pub. by Spectra
