The Walls of Delhi
By: Uday Prakash
Three stinging, darkly comic tales capture in telling detail life and survival in todays India.
In the title story a sweeper discovers a cache of black money and escapes to see the Taj Mahal with his underage mistress; in Mohandas a Dalit races to reclaim his life stolen by an upper-caste identity thief; and in Mangosil a babys head gets bigger and bigger as he gets smarter and smarter, while his family tries to find a cure.
The stories in this collection are a testament to Uday Prakashs extra...ordinary gift as a storyteller and his original, bold voice.'
