About This Item
New Brunswick, New Jersey: Rutgers University Press, 1992. Trade Paperback. Good. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2. 150 Pages. Some cover edgee wear and slightly warped pages probably from improper storage. Front endpaper has evidenced of removed label or ex-libris. Beyond that is a bright little used book with no marks or stamps. A first colection of fiction by this autho that provides stories that are beautifully written, the characteres in them carefully and respecfully drawn. All the stories are set in India, but the people in them seem somehow displace within their own society --- a society in transition but a transition that does not come fast enough to help them. Appachana manages to capoture the pervasive humor, poignancy, and self-delusion of the lives of the people she observes, but she does so without seeming to pass judgment on them. One of the most unusual aspects of many of the stories is the way in which they are informed by but never ruled by the author's feminism. She never lectdures her readers but lets us see for ourselves. Her vision is unique with territory that is at once distant and exotic and familiar and recognizable.
