Soft cover. Zustand: New. Myths and legends jostle with the contemporary in these stories where social issues of our times resonate with the inevitability of the past. The lyricism of Carnatic ragas permeate the pages of this quiet and powerful book in which love is rendered in all its immeasurable avatarsparental, carnal, platonic, romantic, divine. There is the woman who reinvents the notion of love in a unique way that amalgamates technology and spirituality through the Internet; a man full of love who can sing bulleh Shah and the woman who has lost her all in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots; the woman in the eponymous story who stands by her deaf daughter but understands why her husband must leave the home they have built with love all these years; the man who finds out what it is to be a woman after a dip in the pond. These short stories are shorn of sentimentality but have a deep understand-ing of what it means to live, to love and to die. Cs Lakshmi, writing under the pseudonym a MBA I, has been a significant voice in Indian literature for the past four decades. A red-necked Green bird is the writer seventh collection of short stories.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 'The real canvas of Sudha Gupta's work is the murky depth of human behaviour. The Death of a Sarus Crane is not formulaic crime fiction. It is, instead, a study of the patterns and possibilities of crime in urban India.'—Scroll.in Suspense, intrigue, and astute social commentary converge in these four detective stories by Sahitya Akademi award-winning Tamil author Ambai. Private eye Sudha Gupta, who is as unusual as she is unassuming, is on a mission to uncover Mumbai's underbelly, where injustice and violence lurk in unexpected corners. Wherever the ace detective goes, whether to swanky apartments or humble chawls, she discovers new ideas and versions of Mumbai. 'A Room Measuring 250 Square Feet' tackles taboos and secrets, 'The Death of a Sarus Crane' explores privilege and tragedy, while 'Sepal' delves into forbidden love, and the poignant finale, 'Bun, Maska and Irani Chai', courageously redefines belonging and friendship. Through each mystery, involving a complex interplay of people and social forces, Ambai's narrative remains clear and effortless. Relying on a small entourage of friends, Sudha Gupta delivers a unique perspective on Mumbai that we overlook.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. 1st Edition. Since she was valorous, she said she was a man, and since Mahishan was speaking of love, he was feminine If she was a combination of feminine and masculine qualities, why could he too not be a combination of the masculine and feminine?' Setting the stage with the Asura Mahishan's doomed love for the beautiful Devi, Ambai deftly combines myth and tradition with contemporary situations. In the title story, the woman who is mother, daughter, solver of all problems for her family, finds that it is only a black spider on a wall in a deserted guesthouse with whom she can share her own pain and suffering; in Burdensome Days, Bhramara enters a world of politics that turns her music into a commodity; while in A Moon to Devour, it is through her lover's mother that Sagu learns that marriage is not a necessity for motherhood. Like the strains of the veena that play again and again in this masterful concert of stories, journeys too weave in and out. By train or bus or autorickshaws, each journey takes one into a different facet of human nature: the power of caste over the most basic of bodily needs like thirst; the simple generosity of a mentally afflicted child who loves the colour blue; the loneliness of dying amongst strangers, and the final journey of a veena whose owner herself had gone before it into another world. As in most of her writing, women are central to Ambai's stories, but so too is her deep understanding of, as she puts it, 'the pulls and tensions' between the many different things that make up life and ultimately, create a story.…
