From crumbling shops in Chinatown to decaying tanneries in Tangra, Kwaiyun Li's collection of linked short stories expose us to the life of a marginalized community in postcolonial Calcutta.We meander into Wong's Shoe Shop, where a mother arranges a marriage for her sixyearold daughter. We stop at a school for girls, where the principal singles out students who have large breasts for punishment. We pause by a temple guarded by a billy goat where family drama rages. We rally with politicians while the monsoon rain drenches us. We relax under waving palms while the setting sun shimmers over the surface of the Tangra fish ponds.Kwaiyun Li's sensitivity and quirky sense of humour will keep us wanting to return to the ghetto again and again.
