PRAISE FOR THE BOOK

There is something eerie and prescient, and deeply discomfiting, about how Jasraj captures distance, disconnection, the breakdown of something so fundamental it is hard to put a word to.

The Paris Review

This is a fiercely assured and original collection. Its stories are jewelled with flashes of surrealism and quiet humour, all resulting in a remarkable blend of introspection and playfulness.

Mahesh Rao

Quiet tales of tumultuous love. An erudite, memorable debut that often gleams with wit.

Prayaag Akbar

A fascinating collection in which the ordinary and the absurd collide. Anushka Jasraj employs insight, imagination and humour to craft thirteen unsettling and moving stories in this skilful debut.
