Bombay Wali Other Stories

Bombay Wali Other Stories

Author(s): Veela Gokhale

Location(s): Mumbai (Bombay)

Genre(s): Short Stories

Era(s): Contemporary

Twelve stories that provide startling glimpses of contemporary life in Bombay, and elsewhere. An innocuous jazz concert that awakens painful memories for a middle-aged caregiver, a wealthy business woman compelled by the desire to hurt her best friend, a lonely, old woman in a Tokyo apartment who seeks the touch of a baby’s hand. Tales about friendship and repulsion, family ties and freedom; violence, public and private; ambition and uncertainty, alienation and acceptance, growing up and growing old.
