- Summary:
- "Thoughtfully constructed and wildly inventive, Kumar's collection is varied in style, voice and genre. With elegant prose, these narratives are unified by the unpredictability of human behavior. A Sense of Time and Other Stories, explores conflicts of familial obligations, breakdowns of communication between friends and strangers, and clashes of culture, how tradition and the future encroach upon one another. Enlivening, at times humorous and heartbreaking, this is an utterly humane and deeply satisfying read." -- Donald Quist, quoted on the back of the work
