- Summary:
- A man claims his dead sister's baby on a steamy night in Calcutta and spends a tortured evening penning stories for her, telling of his own anguished childhood. Through these stories he hopes to find his place in the world, and create a better one for the orphaned infant. Jha's poetic prose echoes the loneliness of the human condition.
