“Une hypervirilité, un machisme triomphant ou bien au contraire des êtres sensibles, évanescents, mutilés : telle est l’oscillation qui amène Tennessee Williams à rêver d’une dualité réconciliée, et, vers la fin de son œuvre, à montrer des êtres généreux, purifiés du désordre et de l’érotisme.

✦ Synopsis
Complex, compelling and shocking - PAUL ZACHARIA
An intimate chronicle of the world we live in ... deceptively simple but searingly truthful - K.R. MEERA
Endlessly playful, cleverly mischievous, enchantingly magical, scarily nightmarish - K. SATCHIDANANDAN
When they were first published, Gracy's stories shocked readers with their sexual candour and frank celebration of female desire. She is now widely recognized as one of the most important contemporary writers in Malayalam.
Her short stories, which vary from half a page to novella-length, draw the reader into the world of modern men and women caught in quagmires of desire, lust, jealousy and vengeance - emotions that they often carry even into the afterlife. In these pages we will find: the bitter defiance of a daughter going to her mother's funeral in her most alluring sari; a contemporary retelling of the story of Draupadi; the sinister coming-of-age tale of a young girl...
Brilliantly rendered by award-winning translator Fathima E.V., Baby Doll brings a comprehensive selection of Gracy's work to English readers for the very first time.
