Matriarchs, Cows and Epic Villains

Suniti Namjoshi’s compelling tales range from metamorphosed cows to ruling mothers, from talking donkeys to epic villains. In this substantial collection are fables old and new, lyric poems and epigrams, novella narratives and ironic commentary. We also complete the Ravana trilogy with Shupi’s Choices and Kumbh , with villainous siblings who are sometimes ridiculous, but ready to show up for own shortcomings. Matriarchs, Cows and Epic Villains is a curation of Suniti’s work where she continues to raise questions about how we deal with our destiny as human beings while at the same time trying to understand and confront our inadequacies.
