But the English-language literati don’t understand why he doesn’t write about the insurgency.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith the very first story in this unusual and unapologetic collection, Aruni Kashyap sets the tone for an intimate exploration of a terrain that is both familiar and alien. In the spirit of modern post-colonial storytellers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Daniyal Mueenuddin, his stories press the silences of the village and the nascent city to reveal their secrets. The result is a frank appraisal of our hypocrisies and desires, hopes and defeats—the stuff of the stuff we carry within us. Through tales that root up love, violence, motherhood and sex, Kashyap appears to ask: what are the stories about a place that are told, which ones are worth telling, what do we really want to say?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nARUNI KASHYAP is a writer and translator.
