P • Filled with humour and entertaining barbs, Zac O’Yeah and Upamanyu Chatterjee took the audience through an interesting journey through Upamanyu’s new book, his experiences as he authored Othello Sucks, and a candid interaction with the audience over the issues over coloured skin and the great bard himself. The session opened with a reading by Upamanyu Chatterjee from his book titled “Othello Sucks’ which, he admits, had several instances that were taken directly from experiences from his life, and interactions with people around him. “It’s a parity of a real life situation”, he says “Prompted by a series of events three or four years ago. The children were studying shakespeare at school and hating it. I, the older generation, said he’s just taught badly in your school – Macbeth is wonderful.” However when the school invited Upamanyu to talk about it on an occasion, he re-read Othello only to realise that it’s dreadful. “Black Othello sucks because they bard is white.” he qu
