Reviews

"This is easily one of the best collections of short stories I have read in a very long time." (Indian Review of Books) "The best thing about these stories is their momentum, their narrative drive. You keep turning the pages and there is always a pay-off at the end.... It fairly zips along, it flies." (Mukul Kesavan, Outlook India)"
