In committing sati she enlists the help of Mrs. Sen, a journalist from Delhi, to record the momentous event for posterity. Dragged from the comforts of her city office to the wilds of Uttar Pradesh, with the promise of the story of the decade, Mrs. Sen is somewhat disturbed when Sally casually drops into afterdinner conversation that her husband is still alive . . .Manjula Padmanabhans collection of darkly humorous tales from contemporary India introduces us to characters such as Rakesh, a disturbing young man who finds it hard to keep his hands to himself, particularly when travelling on public transport; Mr. Sukhatme, an oldfashioned calligrapher forced to demean his skill, who finds a way to turn the tables on his employer; and a young, motherdamaged engineer, whose devious plan to burn alive his sleeping wife and child escaping to Delhi with his wifes suitcase of money goes horribly wrong.High in narrative tension and laced with unexpected twists, Padmanabhans twelve tales are an intriguing window on contemporary India.ReviewThis is easily one of the best collections of short stories I have read in a very long time . . .
