About this product
Product Information
In ten stories that read like parables, Meera Nair depicts contemporary Indian life with fierce precision and an irresistible blend of humor, wit, and pathos, firmly establishing herself as a striking new voice in Indian fiction. An American porn flick wreaks havoc on the life of an Indian man, much to the dismay of his wife. A young man's uncanny gift for sculpting statues out of sand makes the women of his village swoonuntil the men plot to put a stop to it. A small town of "utter inconsequence" prepares excitedly for a visit from President Clinton. This stunning debut collection offers brilliant snapshots of life's small reversals and a broad-stroke portrait of our times.
