I Have Some Questions For You

Author : Rebecca Makkai

Price : `2,481 (Paperback)

Rebecca Makkai's 'I Have Some Questions For You' is a mystery thriller novel. The plot revolves around Bodie Kane, a film producer and podcaster, who is hesitant to accept an invitation to return and teach a twoweek course at the boarding school where she attended high school. The murder of a classmate and Bodie's horrible four years have largely been buried in her memory. Yet, when she comes back, Bodie doesn't appear to consider if the perpetrator is still at large or whether the police made the right arrest. This is a sombre, unsettling tale about homicide, racism, sexual assault, bereavement, the nature of collective memory, privilege, the need for people to be at the epicentre of catastrophe even when they are not, and the feeling of being an outsider. This book is about questions, and the largest one of them all, "Who killed Thalia Keith?" takes on the characteristics of a movable signifier that defies definition.
