They meet for the first time in a university lecture: Sixteen-year-old Oscar is highly gifted, comes from a wealthy family and has never taken the subway. Moni Kosinsky has three grandchildren and several part-time jobs, loves bright lipstick and high heels, and is determined to fulfill her dream of studying math. Their encounter is a collision of two entirely different worlds. But mathematics doesn’t care about one’s background, age or appearance, so the two outsiders soon form a friendship that no one would have thought possible.
With Easy As Pi, best-selling author Alina Bronsky (“Broken Glass Park”, “Barbara Isn't Dying”) has written a nimble and sophisticated tragicomic novel about a touching friendship that goes well beyond questions about the fourth dimension. Host: Marion Brasch
