ABSTRACT Jerry Pinto has always been a man of words and wit, as reflected in his career as a journalist, writer, and teacher. Em and the Big Hoom, his best-known novel, is described as a “profoundly moving book”, by Amitav Ghosh, who says: “I cannot remember when I last read something as touching.” Pinto’s debut novel depicts family relationships, hardships, and mental illness while reflecting on the practice and discourse of Indian motherhood. This conversation focuses on Pinto’s perspectives on motherhood, identity, and agency in the novel. It investigates how Indian motherhood relates to women’s silenced voices and, in many cases, depressed selves. The discussion elicits Pinto’s perspectives on what it means to be a mother in India, as well as his portrayal of the eponymous character Em’s mental illness. He discusses his inspiration for writing as well as some of the research that went into the creation of this semi-autobiographical work.

ABSTRACT Following Édouard Glissant’s lead, archipelagic thinking challenges neocolonial epistemes and methodologies in imagining alternative relations among difference. It offers productive lines of thought in relation to Southeast Asia, which has historically been marginalized in the global imaginary. This article examines archipelagic thinking’s potential to rewrite this metageography through a reading of Merlinda Bobis’s narratives of the Fish-Hair Woman who trawls the river with her magical hair for victims of the 1980s Philippine communist counter-insurgency in the fictional town of Iraya, Philippines. Recuperating neglected geographies and histories through storytelling and deploying magical realism by way of deconstructing hegemonic epistemologies and ontologies, these narratives subvert centre–periphery dynamics by endowing the Philippines with cultural specificity and mythic significance while positioning it as a zone of cultural exchange and interconnectedness. Through them, Bobis articulates a model for negotiating relations among difference characterized by fluidity and respect, in alignment with Glissant’s relationality.
