β¦ Synopsis
Containing iconic stories like βElephant Doctorβ and βA Hundred Armchairsβ, this collection by the great Tamil writer Jeyamohan, brings together twelve inspiring and imaginative narratives, all based on the lives of real people. These stories explore the capacity of humans to hold on to their intrinsic goodness in the face of both the everyday and the extraordinary, and how their response in such moments of truth finds expression in multitudinous ways β as anger, compassion, fortitude, a capacity for suffering, self-discovery, a life of silent protest or even eccentric activism.
Gripping, often raw and deeply moving, this striking collection, the first major translation of Jeyamohanβs work in English, will renew your faith in humanity.
