Enjoyed commenting on this one! So much to unpack from intergenerational narratives, to acculturation, to the intersectionality of gender and culture and politics, and ofc the model minority myth!! Thanks to @sakshi_saroja for the invite to share some thoughts. 🙏🏾🤎🙌🏾

"Life of Pi" - first a hit novel, and then an Oscar-winning movie - is a story unlike any other. Now, with state-of-the-art puppetry and stagecraft, that story is on Broadway. @Mistahwax goes behind the scenes.
