Curry : eating, reading, and race / Naben Ruthnum. by Ruthnum, Naben. Coach House Books, 2017. Call #: 305.89141 R975c Subjects East Indian diaspora.   East Indians -- Ethnic identity.   East Indians -- Race identity.   East Indians in literature.   East Indian diaspora in literature.   Ethnicity in literature.   Race in literature.   Ethnicity.   Group identity.   Curry powder. Series Exploded views. ISBN:  9781552453513 (pbk.) Description:  117 p. ; 19 cm. Summary:  "Curry is a dish that doesn't quite exist, but, as this hilarious and sharp essay points out, a dish that doesn't properly exist can have infinite, equally authentic variations. By grappling with novels, recipes, travelogues, pop culture, and his own background, Naben Ruthnum depicts how the distinctive taste of curry has often become maladroit shorthand for brown identity. With the sardonic wit of Gita Mehta's Karma Cola and the refined, obsessive palette of Bill Buford's Heat, Ruthnum sinks his teeth into the story of how the beloved flavour calcified into an aesthetic genre that limits the imaginations of writers, readers, and eaters. Following in the footsteps of Salman Rushdie's Imaginary Homelands, Curry cracks open anew the staid narrative of an authentically Indian diasporic experience. Naben Ruthnum has written books and cultural criticism for the Globe and Mail, Hazlitt, and the Walrus. His crime fiction has appeared in Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine and Joyland, and his pseudonym Nathan Ripley's first novel will appear in 2018. Ruthnum lives in Toronto"--Provided by publisher.
