Proud to be B-Corp
The feel-good place to buy books
Video by Meera Nair
In ten stories that read like parables, Meera Nair depicts contemporary Indian life with fierce precision and an irresistible blend of humor, wit, and pathos, firmly establishing herself as a striking new voice in Indian fiction. An American porn flick wreaks havoc on the life of an Indian man, much to the dismay of his wife. A young man's uncanny gift for sculpting statues out of sand makes the women of his village swoon-until the men plot to put a stop to it. A small town of utter inconsequence prepares excitedly for a visit from President Clinton. This stunning debut collection offers brilliant snapshots of life's small reversals and a broad-stroke portrait of our times.
Meera Nair was born and raised in India and came to the United States in 1997 to study creative writing. She received an M.A. from Temple University and an M.F.A. from New York University, where she was a New York Times fellow. Her stories have been published in The Threepenny Review and Calyx. Nair lives in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.
