Synopsis
Here Uday Prakesh, one of Hindi's most important and best-loved writers, brings us three tales about living in today's globalised India, portraying realities about caste and class with an authenticity rarely seen in English-language fiction about South Asia. Told in a compelling, vivid and thoroughly modern voice, sharply political but free of heavy handedness, the novellas leave an imprint on the mind long after the last page is turned.
