Opis

A street sweeper discovers a cache of black market money and escapes to see the Taj Mahal with his underage mistress; an Untouchable races to reclaim his life that s been stolen by an upper-caste identity thief; a slum baby s head gets bigger and bigger as he gets smarter and smarter, while his family tries to find a cure. One of India s most original and audacious writers, Uday Prakash, weaves three tales of living and surviving in today s globalized India. In his stories, Prakash portrays realities about caste and class with an authenticity absent in most English-language fiction about South Asia. Sharply political but free of heavy handedness."
