Dec. 8, 2022 – Abraham Verghese – For many of us in health care, 2022 felt like a gift compared to the two preceding years. Still, I was restless, anxious about Covid-19’s next chapter. “The Family Jewels,” by the Irish stand-up comedian/writer Caimh McDonnell. was just the medicine. It’s the most recent volume in his Dublin Trilogy … which has seven books. (I know.) For which I am grateful, because I couldn’t get enough of Detective Bunny McGarry and gang —their adventures are poignant, suspenseful and gut-bustingly funny. Hearing the audio version read by an Irishman enhances the experience. “A Burning,” by Megha Majumdar, is a brilliant novel I gifted to friends. Through the lens of just a few characters, the author evokes the complexity, the injustice and corruption experienced by urban Indians living in poverty.
