Kuttiedathi and Other Stories
Synopsis
Kuttiedathi and other stories is a collection of the finest stories of M.T. Vasudevan Nair, available for the first time in English translation. Ordinary middle class lives and sufferings of Northern Kerala have seldom been so engagingly told as in Nair's fiction. If the lead story 'Kuttiedathi' mixes tragic memory and domestic martyrdom, When the Doors of Heaven Open' plays out another life upon which centre a group of lives, all selfish, caring, and indifferent by turns. Strange, unfathomable bonds of passion are the theme of 'Insight', another story in this collection. Nair's enviable telling often makes it hard for us to distinguish between tenses and points of view. We touch, and are deeply touched by the survivors of these little tragedies of the soul.
