Summary:
‘A fearless and beautiful exploration into meals, race, memory and the meaning of existence. I examine it greedily – therefore will you’ Meera Sodha, writer of Fresh India
The dinner table, among friends, is where the best conversations take place – discuss the world, religion, politics, culture, like and cooking. In the same way, Be My Visitor is a discussion about each one of these issues, mediated through the sharing of meals. We live in a global where some possess too much yet others insufficient, where migrants and refugees are both welcomed and vilified, and where most of us spend less and much less time cooking and eating collectively. Priya Basil explores the meaning and limitations of hospitality today, and in doing this she invites us to consider that just how much we have in common may depend on what we should are willing to share.
This audio edition includes an exclusive afterword read by the writer.
