Achevons l'année 2024 en beauté avec Now you see us de Balli Kaur Jaswal, paru en 2023 chez Harper Collins. Dans la continuité de l'épisode précédent, je vous invite à suivre le quotidien de femmes migrantes, originaires des Philippines et employées de maison à Singapour. Les voilà héroïnes de roman. Quand l'une d'entre elles se trouve accusée du meurtre de sa patronne, les autres mènent l'enquête. Nous plongeons dans leur quotidien, dans les secrets de famille et leurs propres mystères. Nous arpentons Singapour, comme elles, un Singapour que nous n'avons pas l'habitude de voir de ce côté-là du miroir. J'ai rencontré Balli Kaur Jaswal plusieurs fois à Singapour, et par Zoom pour cet épisode. Elle nous raconte la place primordiale qu'occupent dans son oeuvre les minorités ethniques, les femmes et les questions d'identité. Elle-même, née à Singapour, est issue de la diaspora pendjabie et sikhe, une communauté qu'elle décrit avec beaucoup d'humour dans ses autres romans. Nous discutons Singlish, cet élément linguistique si fédérateur, place des hommes dans son oeuvre et ... je vous laisse écouter son rire, qui donne de l'élan.Le site de Balli Kaur Jaswal:https://www.ballijaswal.com/ Marcher entre les lignes est un podcast conçu et écrit par Julie Moulin.Montage et réalisation sonore: Vincent Cateigne (the boss!)Lectures en anglais: Eileen Ratulangi (Merci!)Pensez à vous abonner sur votre plateforme d'écoute préférée et à y laisser des étoiles et un commentaire.

In this episode I – and you – meet the writer Balli Kaur Jaswal again. I reviewed her book ‘Sugarbread' back in March in episode 6. Now I have the pleasure of reviewing another of her books. And it was a pleasure reading ‘Inheritance' – a story about a Singapore Sikh family and what I would call ‘a dissolution of a family'. Not a happy story, but still a story you want to read 

This is my review of 'Sugarbread' -  Balli Kaur Jaswal's book from 2016Set in the 1990s, in 'Sugarbread' we follow Pin – short for Parveen – a young girl from Singapore's Sikh community. Pin lives with her somewhat withdrawn, but elegant mother Jini and her hotel-security guard father Ram. Pit wonders why her mother, whom she adores, repeatedly tells her she must not grow up to be like her. Jini is almost obsessed that her daughter does not become like her mother. She wants Pin to have a better life. When you read the book you will understand why.

In this episode we are stepping into V.C. Andrews' notorious novel "Flowers in the Attic" and its sequel "Petals on the Wind". It's an equally sexy and skeevy episode in which we discuss the Gothic tradition, the incest scale, and the puberty sweats. With that said, this is an official content note (CN) that we discuss rape and incest in this episode so tread lightly if these are sensitive subjects for you. We recommend, if possible, that you listen to this episode with your sibling.

In this hilarious comedy of manners set in Mumbai, where modernity jostles with tradition, Balli Kaur Jaswal's Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows meets Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians. Modernity jostles with tradition in this romantic comedy as Zoya must choose between her family's expectations and the opportunity of a lifetime. Zoya is not a perfect Indian daughter. She's overweight, independent and unmarried in a society that values slim, obedient women. And at 26, she is hurtling towards her expiration date in Mumbai's arranged marriage super-mart. But when her family's matchmaking finally works, everything seems to be on the up - all until she is offered a dream job in New York City. Zoya must now make the choice of a lifetime, but not without a few cultural casualties and, of course, an accidental love story along the way....

This week we're discussing Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows by Balli Kaur Jaswal, narrated by Meera Syal. The story follows a young Punjabi feminist called Nikki, who takes what she believes to be a creative writing job at her local temple. She quickly learns that these women are illiterate and have their own way of learning to read and write. The story then picks up and becomes about loneliness, desire and sexuality within the group. - These are women who have spent their lives in the shadows of fathers, brothers and husbands, being dutiful, raising children and going to temple, but whose inner lives are as rich and fruitful as their untold stories. Join us for our next live event and taping on Sunday, 28th March at 4:00 pm UK time, where we'll be getting stuck into Through The Leopards Gaze by Njambi McGrath.You can register to attend at contentisqueen.org/abc4/ the link is also in the show notes.

A SPECIAL BOOK CLUB EPISODE WITH SASS In this special episode of Masala Podcast, I’m discussing the book ‘Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows' by Balli Kaur Jaswal with Shirin Shah who’s the Co-founder of SASS - South Asian Sisters Speak (SASS) as well as Mahek Mehta and Maryam Siddiqui who’ve been part of previous SASS book clubs. Described as ‘warm and hilariously funny’ – this gem of a book takes on a big taboo: sexuality among older South Asian women. We read some (saucy) extracts from the book, we discuss lots of important themes like the ‘de-sexualisation’ of older South Asian women. We talk about our perceptions of what is acceptable in South Asian culture vs. Western culture. We explore what physical displays of affections (or the lack of them) mean for us growing up as women in our culture. This is a really special episode for me, because we connected, we chatted about some important themes and we had such a laugh. ABOUT MASALA PODCAST The Spotify award-winning Masala Podcast is a show for South Asian women, where we talk about all those things that we’re NOT supposed to talk about in our culture. Sex, sexuality, periods, menopause, mental health, shame, sexual harassment and many more taboos.

A SPECIAL BOOK CLUB EPISODE WITH SASS In this special episode of Masala Podcast, I’m discussing the book ‘Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows' by Balli Kaur Jaswal with Shirin Shah who’s the Co-founder of SASS - South Asian Sisters Speak (SASS) as well as Mahek Mehta and Maryam Siddiqui who’ve been part of previous SASS book clubs. Described as ‘warm and hilariously funny’ – this gem of a book takes on a big taboo: sexuality among older South Asian women. We read some (saucy) extracts from the book, we discuss lots of important themes like the ‘de-sexualisation’ of older South Asian women. We talk about our perceptions of what is acceptable in South Asian culture vs. Western culture. We explore what physical displays of affections (or the lack of them) mean for us growing up as women in our culture. This is a really special episode for me, because we connected, we chatted about some important themes and we had such a laugh.
