Kalki Koechlin writes a book on motherhood
Live MintActor Kalki Koechlin is making her debut as an author with an illustrated non-fiction book on motherhood. Titled "Elephant In The Womb", the graphic book, illustrated by Valeriya Polyanychko, will be published this year announced publisher Penguin Random House India. A combination of personal essays and think-pieces, the book is a "candid, funny and relatable" account talking about pregnancy and parenting for mothers, expectant mothers, and "anyone even thinking about motherhood". According to the publisher, Koechlin's nuanced prose makes the readers aware about the physiological discomfort like untimely farts, discomfort, and so on, and manic expectations that make motherhood a bittersweet experience. Ukaranian illustrator Polyanychko, who spends time in her native country and India, said that she could identify with the book and translating the book's essence visually was a "profound" experience.
