9/25/18 review of the book Lost in Time: Ghatotkacha & the Game of Illusions

Here is the link to my September 25, 2018, Twitter thread review of the book Lost in Time: Ghatotkacha & the Game of Illusions, by Namita Gokhale.

Twitter's platform has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still mostly coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

3/24/16 review of The Puffin Mahabharata, by Namita Gokhale

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of The Puffin Mahabharata, by Namita Gokhale.

The Puffin Mahabharata is a modern retelling of the Mahabharata, one of the greatest religious texts and stories every told. My thread gives a summary of the book, some things the book's author, Namita Gokhale, has said about the Mahabharata, the lively women of the text, gender fluidity in the text, the way the text accepts human failure, the sources of context that drive the drama of the story, and some information about Colorado's Jaipur Literature Festival, which is where I bought this book.
