Most collections of short stories work by the interplay of different voices. This one offers the more satisfying rewards of a novel: the unity of tone and a richness of recurring details that creates its own texture. All the stories take place in parallel worlds, not so much remote from ordinary life as hidden within its surfaces: secret alleys that afford unexpected and unsettling views of men and manners. The author's portrayal of women characters calls for particular attention Salim's mother, Alka, and even Maitreyee, the invisible wife of Ritobrata. All their stories have wonderful surreal quality and a sombre, compassionate tone. Codice articolo 147197
