It explores late twentieth-century society as deftly as it does universal human relationships. Called a tragicomedy by some critics\, it is a witty\, biting\, yet ultimately sincere commentary on what drives people. The heart of the play can be summed up in a few sentences that Louisa Kittredge directs at the audience: “I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. . . . It’s a profound thought. . . . How every person is a new door\, opening up into other worlds.” The play was made into a movie starring Will Smith in 1993. \nABOUT THE PRESENTER\nAhmed Karim\, by profession\, is an organizational development consultant. He has an abiding interest in human identity and this is the undertow of his love for a variety of subjects and fields such as Literature\, among others.\nExcerpts from the play will be read by Mohini Khot\, John Kurrien and Ahmed Karim. \nDate: Sunday\, 10 Jan 2021 | Time: 06.30 PM (IST) URL:https://www.gyaanadab.org/event/the-book-club-pune-12/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.gyaanadab.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Web-Banner-Six-Degrees-of-Separation-Written-by-John-Guare-Presentation-by-Ahmed-Karim.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210103T183000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20210103T200000 DTSTAMP:20201230T220835Z CREATED:20201230T220512Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201230T220835Z UID:16249-1609698600-1609704000@www.gyaanadab.org SUMMARY:The Book Club Pune DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting\n\n\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 886 5191 0660\n\nPassword: BookClub\n\n\n\n \nView Event on Facebook\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK\nMilk Teeth traces the growth of Ira and Kartik\, neighbours and friends since childhood\, and the entrance of Kaiz into Ira’s world.

She writes about the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. \nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nIsabel Wilkerson (born 1961) is an American journalist and the author of The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration and Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents.
