It was the first collection of Ashokamitran’s short stories to be published in English translation.
In the stories in this collection, Ashokamitran arrives at a larger sense of the world through the trials and tribulations of ordinary people. His spare, lean prose seamlessly blends together his acute perceptions, fine eye for detail and laconic humour.
N Kalyan Raman captures the nuances of his chiselled prose, bringing into sharp focus the quintessentially human characters that people Ashokamitran’s world.
