Description
Description
In Venus Crossing, Kalpana Swaminathan masterfully crafts twelve stories that lay bare the deepest complexities of human relationships. These stories capture the instant of transit, that moment when the impossible-the unthinkable-is absorbed into the fabric of life so that life can be lived again. That moment is everything: revelation, challenge, existence. In the Yellow Dupatta, practical compulsions surmount grief as a young couple takes their dead child home from the hospital. A middle-aged nurse finds romance with the most obnoxious of patients in Sister Thomas and Mister Gomes. Two young women shattered by rejection begin the long journey of survival in Fly Away, Peter. Incident at Abu Ghraib finds Sukhi appalled by her mother's empathy for a disgraced American soldier. Hemant is counselled, in Euthanasia, to opt for the final solution-but will he?Incisive, brilliant and deeply compassionate, Venus Crossing showcases Kalpana Swaminathan's consummate skill as a storyteller and proves, yet again, the uncompromising vision of her craft.
