Zoom Program: Hocus Pocus -- Indian Stage Magicians In 1800s Boston
Author Brinda Charry will discuss her new novel, Hocus Pocus. A young magician travels across the world -- winding up in Boston -- seeking fame and fortune all the while hiding a secret, in a novel based on the renowned, real-life Indian stage magicians performing in the 1800s. The book received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, and Library Journal, and received recommendations from the Boston Globe and New York Times.
Charry came to the United States from India as a graduate student in 1999 and has been living here since. Her first novel -- The East Indian -- was awarded the Society of American Historians Prize for Historical Fiction, and was shortlisted and longlisted for several other awards and recognitions.
